I left my hotel in Kingston-upon-Thames just after 10.30 am and headed for home.

| View from Richmond Bridge |
As I approached Richmond Bridge, I decided to stop for a rest and some tea. Parking was very difficult to find. There was nowhere to sit and drink my tea overlooking the river and within easy reach of the car.
I remembered cruising this stretch of the Thames over a decade ago. Even then, the planes going in and out of Heathrow were numerous and flying low as they made their approach.

| Hangar Lane Gyratory |
I had a stressful journey home, especially at the Chiswick Flyover section and negotiating the Hangar Lane Gyratory system.
The North Circular was chocablock and I was cut-up many times, particularly by commercial vehicles crossing lanes as they rounded corners.
Once on the A1M, the traffic thinned and driving was more civilised.

TheD made good time, arriving at the Thames Barrier before 5pm.
Tomorrow is a rest day, followed by a weekend of boat moving.
