Dorchester is one village I’ve wanted to visit since the first time we came onto the River Thames and on Thursday last week I got the chance ...
... with it’s chocolate box thatched cottages ...
... and the beautiful Dorchester Abbey (the Abbey Church of St Peter and St Paul) with its 14C sculptured and stained glass window Dorchester is well worth a visit.
Pretty lanes that look untouched by time ...
... and a mixture of architecture still in good use even in modern times ...
... and the peaceful setting of the River Thame.
Meanwhile back on our mooring above Days Lock ...
... we think this is a Sparrowhawk; we saw it several times sitting at the top of the trees here and on one occasion George saw it swoop down and take a small animal!
On Friday morning early we had a rude awakening with the mooing of cows and the sound of them making contact with Still Rockin’!
I quickly picked up my camera and pulled back the curtain ...
... there were a few mums and calves lots of calves which we think have been separated from their mothers who were calling from the opposite bank ..
... and big daddy was on our side of the river too!
