What’s the attraction of water?

Darren seems obsessed with going for walks near water, if it’s not a river it’s a reservoir, if it’s not a reservoir it’s a river. If he was to ask me, I’d suggest we just went for walks on big grass fields, the kind where I can chase ball.
The river Ouse in the photo was very busy with boats today, lots of people using their boats and enjoying the water. I think if Darren had the money he’d like a boat, but he’d want that boat in the middle of nowhere away from all other boats and boaters, he seems to be in constant pursuit of peace and quiet.
