What a lovely mooring we found. We set out from Marlow in the afternoon after a full day of work, Elizabeth ticking through her tasks and Pete building a new reporting spreadsheet. We travelled 7 miles and 4 locks, working the last lock on our own, as it was after the Lockeeper's day. Pete did the controls whilst Elizabeth drove into and out of the lock. This was the first time she did both on the Thames and was quite proud of herself after the stress reduced somewhat.
We had planned to stop at Hurley, but as is so often the case on a river, no moorings were to be found. So we kept going and ended up at Remenham farm moorings on a southern corner between Henley and Hambledon. It was a lovely open field at a wide stretch of the river with full light each side. Across, and looking quite fine, was Henley Management College (home of Belbin Team roles, in case you know). Bella looked on, considering imparting some of her wisdom, but decided to keep to herself.
And we saw 2 Kingfishers. Good day!
