We're Back!

 John gets busy with the mop and bucket to clean up 5 weeks of leaf and bird droppings! And then, we're off!
 Going through the center of Reading was interesting, had to negotiate traffic lights! I also should report here that I can personally vouch for the fact that the Thames is very cold at this time of year and not suitable for swimming. Fortunately John did not have time to get the camera as I fell in, ho ho.
Ici, centre ville de Reading Je doit dire a cet moment que je puisse confirme que la Thames est tres froid en Avril! Heureusement, John n'avais pas le temps de prendre un photo de moi au moment je suis tombee dedans...il etait en train de rire, sympa n'est ce pas?!!!!.
 Blake's Lock on the Kennet and Avon, first of many en route to Bath. Unmanned and heavy, guess who's job it is to open them?
Maintenant nous avons quitte la Thames et nous voyageons le Kennet and Avon. Les ecluses on fait nous-memes.Il y a une centaine en route de Bath. Devinez qui doit les ouvrir....
A slap up meal here tonight methinks!
Nous allons diner ici ce soir, je pense que c'est meriter!

    Surprise, surprise...the "poisson rouges" in the pond show up again, they doubled in size, they seem to like the temperature of the water better than you...
