Flotsam and Jetsam? Scummy stuff, fender, bottle, float, twigs and weed in the river. Not sure what’s flotsam and what’s jetsam or if it matters. 20 October 2014
Riverside. Another beautiful day in Bath today, not at all like a mid-October autumn day. Warm, windy and sunny so a good day to be out and about. This is the River Avon riverside in Bath taken from North Parade; behind the trees on the right is the Recreation Ground or The Rec as we…
