River Scene Mugs

Landing stages along the river bank in the town of Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. This image has been processes to simulate a pencil drawing. In the background is the bridge over the river taking road traffic towards Maidenhead in Berkshire. It dates from 1786 and is a Grade 1 listed historical structure. On the opposite (Remenham) bank is the world famous Leander Rowing Club. Founded in 1818 it's one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world and the oldest non-academic one.

A digital pencil sketch of the view looking upriver to the weir at Pangbourne in Berkshire. This picturesque stretch of the Thames has been the subject of many paintings over the years and here it has been caught in the afternoon light of a winter's day. The weir lies next to The Swan public house which has appeared in such books as Jerome K Jerome's 'Three Men In A Boat' Near this spot in Pangbourne, later in his life, lived the author Kenneth Graham who drew inspiration from the river.

Just upstream from the town of Marlow-on-Thames in Buckinghamshire. We can see the houses and the spire of All Saints Church - a local landmark. The Thames here is famous for rowing with a number of Olympic rowers training both in Marlow and at the nearby National Sports Centre at Bisham Abbey, This is the scene from the Thames Path National Trail which starts near the source of the Thames and continues all the wat to the Thames Barrier in London.

A view of the River Thames as we cross over the weir at Benson in Oxfordshire, This is part of the Thames Path National Trail. Behind us the river flows on to Wallingford where this walk started - and ahead is the town of Abingdon and the city of Oxford. However, immediately ahead on this walk is a riverside bistro - a lovely place to sit and relax with a coffee and pastry before retracing our steps.

A narrowboat moored on the banks of the Thames at Lechlade in Gloucestershire on an overcast afternoon, close to the Oxfordshire border and right at the southernmost tip of the Cotswolds. Here we are also at the highest navigable point of the river - St John'sLlock just below this scene being the first (or last) to navigate. Just further upstream the river becomes narrower and shallower - the river looking very little like the mighty Thames flowing through London!

It started as a colourful stripes but I couldn't help but throw in some curves by the end
