I’ve met a host of lovely people whilst writing this column but probably none as charming and dedicated to her cause as Dot Beeson, the woman behind the Swan Sanctuary based in Felix Lane, Shepperton.
Lots of boaters I know don’t belong to a boat club of any description. They simply like to potter around on the river with family and friends, taking in the sights and sounds of the Thames in all its beauty.
ROB MARSH has a dream. He wants to make Shepperton Marina the best on the Thames – no small ambition when you consider some of the competitors he’s up against.
