| Reading Bridge,beautiful at night. |
So, off we went to Reading. Six miles, two locks, two hours by narrowboat, fifteen minutes by car; welcome to life in the slow lane! And, yes, I can steer the boat AND can do the knots to moor it. I have also learned not to lean on the bankside and push off with both hands leaving feet on boat and an impossible stretch, well, not unless I WANT to fall in...

"Mr. Wilde , we have come for to take you
Where felons and criminals dwell..."
Oscar Wilde was imprisoned here in 1895 in Block C landing 3 cell 3
The back of the Thames Water Offices. Loved the whirly staircases, even better at night...
And so, on a very cold and frosty morning , it was back to Shiplake to retrieve Misty the cat, who was lost and is now found! Yay!!!!!!
Yes it's you, Judith, but you do realise that it's off to the caboose again as soon as it stops freezing?
ReplyDeleteOh Gerard, I hadn't thought of that:-( How mean is he?!!
DeleteAll looks just as you wished it would be So happy for you !
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you Pat!We're a bit hemmed in on the Thames at this time of year due to lock closures , but it doesn't seem to matter as we find plenty to do just within a few miles! And today we have snow!
DeleteIt doesn't look like England! It looks exotic!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you're keeping nice and warm and cosy. We'll be down in Didcot next week to help Nikki and Andrew work on their utility room. We are really pushed for time so won't get a chance to pop over and see you, but hopefully we can make some arrangement soon. Boat looks great by the way xxx
