As I walked out this evening the sun had already gone down, and the air was quite smokey from one of the boats moored by the Abbey Meadows.

Over the lock, and heading back along the far bank an orange halo still showed behind the distant steeple of St Helen’s Church. Two runners came the other way.

Getting nearer Abingdon Bridge and the lights of Nags Head Island made quite a show.

Inky blue clouds were reflected in the River Thames all around.

The clocks go forward this weekend so there is every chance the evening walk next week will be in daylight.
