The Down-River View From the Emirates Air-Line
Previously on my three trips on the Emirates Air-Line, I’ve always sat so I could see up-river. Today, I sat the other side and looked down-river.
As you can see there was a bit of rain about, so it might be worth checking the wind direction, if there is, so that your side windows are clear.
On a day with good visibility, you’d get a superb view of the Thames Barrier.
Note that up-river for me is one of those titter-words. The fictional cast list of Beyond Our Ken in the 1950s and 1960s, often included a lady called Maud Upriver.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
