Walking from Barnes to Putney along the Thames Path; the river here does a loop so it’s much shorter to walk the chord but nothing like so interesting. The rowing crews are back out on the river but Hammersmith Bridge is still closed because of cracks in the Victorian ironwork, so the traffic on the footpath is much reduced. Note the Star Wars stormtrooper on Christmas duty. I enjoyed Mince Pies from The Parish Bakery in Barnes for my festive picnic.
