Thames on TV

Great fun watching them chunter up and down the reach between Mapledurham and Whitchurch.

Probably spent all day filming it.

Although African Queen is a decided liability in navigation terms, the owner is a very engaging character. I always exchange pleasant teases with him and he always takes it with good humour.

He's typical of British eccentricity, strange that, as he's South African!

I do hope they manage to keep their business above water (sorry !); there are so few commercial "trip boats" left, that it would be a shame if yet another one goes.

Now that he's found a home at Mapledurham, perhaps he's got waters where he can cause less damage..
