Walking to Wapping

I was headed for a pub so decided to walk along the river. My favourite pastime!
The old and the new! If you have enough money a nice place to live!
Always looks good.
I loved this building. My other fascination. It's so intricate with all those curves.
I didn't realise there was a path both sides. It'll have to wait until next time.
The pub I was heading to. Mary used to drink here when she was training.
That's a pewter top bar. The only one left. An amazing history.

I've done the packing but I've got too much stuff. Only 4 sleeps so need to sort this soon. Apart from packing there's the garden, a tree to be sorted, bookings still to be sorted..... Another day and a relook and a repack and all is well. Everything fits and the bag was easy to do up! That means room for expansion. 😊  Now it's only 2 sleeps.

A very old pub! Can't find the name of it.
