A glorious sunny and hot day today. I went on a three mile walk with my sister exploring our local area along the river: first into Kingston, across the bridge, and to Hampton Court. We took a detour to Rick Pond and came across the Hampton Court Model Yacht Club in full swing with a race. It was a funny sight to behold. A nice bunch of friendly gentlemen but very serious in their race.

Just Googled it and this has been the venue for model yacht racing since 1890! http://www.hcmyc.org/club-history.html
