Apologies for the lack of post we're both laid up with colds (George of course has man-flu, but I'm ok!)
Yesterday the sun was shining and I felt in need of some fresh air so I wrapped up warm and took a short walk around the marina and lock ...
Two more different birds to the feeders today
Looking downstream towards Marlow
Some interesting snippets from the information board that I wasn't aware of ....
- ~ there has been a mill here since at least 1086 until the current building ceased work in 1952.
- ~ the first Oxford/Cambridge boat race took place between Hambleden Lock and Henley Bridge in 1829 but moved to London soon after.
- ~ Henley Regatta was established in 1839 to bring trade to the area.

And there he was ... gone!
Back to Still Rockin's warm fire and a hot drink ... bliss!
