Cold, miserable sky, and the threat of rain, but still it's worth going out along the river, as it will be very quiet.
First stop Barrier Park, love the hedges, could do with whatever clippers they use for Odo!

Then we get shown the London flood defences, The Thames Barrier. No good to us though, if they close these, us lot further down river get a bit of a soaking! Good job we are Water Dogs!!!
Then back towards home, but on the way, my goodness, this wasn't here last time we looked! Look how the pods are brand spanking new and all still wrapped in plastic. Getting ready for the tourists and the Olympics.
Then just back to our little river, The Roding, just at the point it joins the Thames, to see the flood barrier there too!
