A visit to Henley


We arranged to go to Henley with old family friend Janet, we were lucky and the sun was shining but we were not really prepared for the sight of the River Thames racing along like a swollen mountain river - we walked along the walkway over the water to get to the lock - the dogs were not very happy as there were gaps in the planks big enough to see the raging water. Tilly just got a bit shakey, but Wooster found spreading his legs wide was the best option - just like Charlie would have done !
We were amazed to see kayakers waiting to go out into the weir as the sluices were wide open and the water was wild !
They were all very expert and rolled very quickly when they went over
On the way back to the car we spotted this super Egyptian Goose - it flew off to find it's mate - wonder if it was the same pair we saw last time we were here
