Stage 7: BACKWARDS Shepperton to Hampton Court

Dear Bertie,

Today you were 19 weeks old and we had company on our walk with our lovely Italian friends Martina and Alessandra.  You guys were born just 3 days apart and you met in Chelsea Hospital when you were both very tiny. 


At Clapham Junction we found out our train was cancelled so we did something very controversial; we started our walk at the end and went backwards!



It was another sunny day and you and Alessandra got comfy in your carriers after a quick brekkie in Costa and we headed to the river at Shepperton.


We walked over a big bridge in Walton which was built very recently in 2013.  It is the first single span bridge heading up the Thames.



We walked past lots of houseboats where people live on the Thames all year around.  Apparently there are nearly 1000 families living on the water in London. 


We walked through the big Hurst Park where people were walking their dogs chasing sticks.



We soon arrived near Hampton Court and walked past the rowing club of our friend John's Dad, Molesley. 



You and Alessandra played on the sofas together with your Sophie toys, and ate everything you could, including each others hands. 



Then we had a nice walk around town before heading home in the train for bed time.
