Ode to the Thames

In a moment of whimsy, Richard Coutts, found himself captivated by the allure of the Thames.

During his stroll from the Bermondsey office to Deloittes in the City yesterday, he couldn't resist pausing to engage in conversation and even commission a spontaneous poem.

The bustling city faded into the background as he took a poetic interlude by the riverbank. It was a reminder to everyone, including the busy denizens of the City, of the importance of slowing down. Sometimes it’s just good to slow down, enjoy the views of the river, and ponder the world from a different perspective.
