Rain on the ride




A towpath is a peaceful way to go.  Elevated on a bike, there are glimpses into gardens backing onto the river, pot holes that take you away from the city, and smells of clean sportswear as runners woosh by.

A man sat at a bench reading the paper under an umbrella; further along a lady in her dressing gown wheeling a suitcase; but, most absurd of all, the sight of a sprinkler on.

Touchingly a happy man was belting out ‘Mary’s Prayer’ at the entrance of an underground car park, while the River Café treated lucky Monday night diners to vegetables grown in their garden.
