Join me on a super soggy sluggy trek along the Thames Path near Oxford – Drizzling Spires more than Dreaming Spires am I right?. In this episode, the rain’s coming down in buckets (or is it? It’s Schroedinger’s rain in the UK) turning the countryside into a misty maze of puddles and unexpected detours. I navigate through the quirky charm of Sandford Lock, the grand stone Iffley Lock, meander past hidden paths near Radley, and even a bit of spilled pasta along the way while having a pitched slug battle! It’s real, it’s raw, and an unmistakably British Summer. And even the Thames gets renamed to the River Isis (which is now on a terrorist watchlist as a result)

From cheeky wildlife encounters to the relentless downpour that makes every step a small battle, this isn’t your polished, polished vlog —i t’s a genuine journey through rain, mist, and a whole lot of character.

And not stabilised, that conked out halfway through, so now in amazing Jello-vision! Woo! I am so glad I have a new phone now….I call it CrappyPhone for a reason…but sadly I have many days of footage to edit from it. Wish me luck!

  1. Great to see you finishing off the Thames path, felt gutted for you when the weather and flooding stopped you completing it.That pink orchid like plant is a Himalayan Balsam, it's a Victorian import that got out of gardens into the wild and is now an invasive.
