Goring for the weekend

It has been a week since last post - apologies!! Connectivity and busyness are the reason.

We did make it to Goring on Thursday and moored just the other side of the lock in the old mill stream. The water level was quite low compared to the lock side and we were concerned if Josie could get off. We considered a chair, or some ladder, but -- discovered she can jump! We were amazed that from a standing start, she jumped more than the distance of her height (on all fours). Our incredible mutt :-) Pete watched this a considerable amount more that Elizabeth who set off from Goring on the 0836 Friday morning. While Pete did laundry (as we were on electics), bimbled through the village, got to know the John Barleycorn and generally maintained domestics, Elizabeth travelled to see students in Manchester then went on to Chester to manage a ministers' training weekend in Wales.
