Although I haven’t entirely gotten over my fear of deep water while in it just yet, I find it very calming and relaxing to look at it. And I did just that, walking along River Avon from the city centre all the way to the Marina. It’s a very pleasant and easy walk passing by bridges, boats, birds, flowers and trees. At the end of the road, The Boathouse awaits with a lovely and spacious garden, right by the river – a great place to take a break from it all. The very few sounds heard from time to time are the paddles of a canoe making its way through the water and the sound of a bird’s wings surveilling the surface of the river. So peaceful!
