Stage 13 - Henley to Reading BACKWARDS

Dear Bertie,

It was another joyful morning on South West Trains and delays meant we went backwards again, starting in Reading.

We are weaning at the moment so you had yummy swede puree on the train before we hit the river path in the city centre.

We joined the river at the big Reading bridge. 

And entered a wood which is famous for its abundance of the famous Christmas plant, Mistletoe.  When you are a teenager, you may want to get some of this so that people will kiss you underneath it.

We passed through another Gruffalo wood with very tall trees. 

We passed through a lovely place called Sonning where there is a posh school and a big lock. 

 

We entered a new county called Berkshire. The county is known as the Royal County of Berkshire since the Royal residence of Windsor Castle is in the county.

We stopped off in a pub for a pit stop lunch and you admired the large selection of ales.

Before being very careful, looking left and right and left again before crossing a railway line.

We crossed a long wooden footbridge across the Henley lock. 

And arrived in sunny Henley where people where walking their dogs in the park.

And then we read the latest headlines on our train home.  I hope Brexit doesn't ruin your future! Luckily you have a French passport if it all goes to s$%t...
