Boys with Boats and getting a good vantage point

Ah yes the Great British Easter Weekend; chocolate (lots of, it's almost the law), relatives and traffic jams.

Rather than post relentlessly about what I got up to, here is a photographic summary of Easter Sunday spent watching Oxford v Cambridge University Boat Race from the riverside at Chiswick (Oxford won btw). It was a nice day, over far too quickly mind you so the nearby pub with vast stocks of Guinness was hugely handy. Shame about the mud and rain though, then again it was Bank Holiday....


Eager anticipation

The expectant crowd gathers

The calm of the Thames

Aaaaaaand Oxford streak past (to be said in mandatory Murray Walker-esque voice)

it's off to the finish line

Hmmmm have to say I'm glad I parked elsewhere!
