Here’s the thing, when you spend enough time by the river (particularly the River Thames) you can smell the change of season ahead of it being obvious to see.
This rowing memory goes back to the late 1990’s when I walked into the boat shed ahead of the crew to grab the blades.
I turn to walk out of the boat shed, it was a very sunny day, as I walked down towards the river i couldn’t smell that sweet smell I would normally have smelt.
Sure it was sunny, sure it was warm, but the water was now cooling.
