Last Monday I went with Silvia, and voices of the water fellows Cassie, Lucy, Ellie and Maedeh on a trip to Sittingbourne to visit Raybel Charters, an old Thames barge sitting on the water at the top of Milton Creek, where the river borne emerges out of the ground and flows into the Thames. After a winding bus ride on a rail replacement service, we arrived, slightly car sick, half an hour late and freezing cold into the Sittingbourne train station carpark.
