I see no ships

When the (in)famous pontoon was being built this enormous chain, sunk into a huge piece of concrete, was dredged from the river. I guess it was used for tying boats up at some point. I don't know what will happen to it now but it's an interesting shape and lovely rusty colour. All along the river the buds are budding.

The weather was a lot better than forecast and I've been out quite a bit of the day. Family visitors this afternoon and it was good to catch up on their news. I'd made leek & potato soup and blueberry muffins (extra) which got the thumbs up.
