Just a couple of hours cruising and locks before we moored up in Henley. There’s a cold wind blowing but as it’s a long W/E everybody is out in hire boats or having picnics. Our mooring is along the main promenade and we’re getting a lot of complimentary remarks, “ what a sweet little boat” or “that would do us”. Our neighbours fore and aft are narrowboats, a distinct minority in “floating gin palace” land.

We’ve had a wander into town to top up supplies, then a visit to the excellent River and Rowing Museum and their wonderful Wind in the Willows display. Suitable for all kids, big and small !

I’ve added 2 more classics to Prime Thymes library, perfect when moored up on a rainy day with a low battery. We will see what happens tomorrow, but will moor up by mid morning to watch the funeral. I’ll avoid Windsor till Wednesday, it’s going to be very crowded till then.
