Just spent two happy hours messing about, not in, but next to the river(Thames )we often go for a long walk by the river, do a sort of loop and end up at a good pub where the pint of beer shandy is the best in the world.
There we sit and watch the boats and the people go by, and have a rest.
There are so many lovely riverside walks in this area, which you can start and end almost anywhere, Oxford, Marlow ,Henley and Abingdon-on Thames.
Next to living near the sea, living near the river is the next best thing.Do you live near a river? which One? Do you walk by it, fish, or take a boat out?
I can't believe my car insurance has risen by that much!
