By the Thames?


We were very glad to see the Thames as we were in a bit of a muddle between the River Thame and the River Thames.  The village of Dorchester isn't on the Thames so we set off down the road we had come up when we arrived in Dorchester back in April.  We came to a field and walked through it and reached a river after passing by some other water that we thought was the River Thame.  All set to walk along the Thames we checked with a passing runner if we were right only to be told that this was the River Thame and that we had to follow this river until we reached the Thames.  The way next to the Thame didn't look the same to us as it had when we walked next to it in April so we weren't convinced that we would find the Thames but we did and here we are at Day's Lock.  Brendan left us here to go back to Dorchester by another path - I hope he didn't have as much trouble on the way back and isn't still walking around somewhere between the Thame and Thames!
