We now relocate to Streatley for 3 nights. Using public transport to get from Henley to Reading picking up where we left off the day before. A train strike messed us sa round a bit, but we were able to partake of a full breakfast at the Catherine Wheel whilst waiting for bus to Reading. We walked to Pangbourne for light lunch and then onto Goring (Streatley). The plan was to treat ourselves to a day off on Sunday for our 40th wedding anniversary. This more or less went to plan. Our hotel was having renovations and hence ne evening meals. I dozed off after days long walk and we went out a bit lateish looking for dinner. We eventually found  a place still open and were wowed by the quality. The Mill of Mansfield is to be congratulated for its high quality fare. Although a day early we deemed this to be our anniversary dinner.

Goring, across the river from Streatley is quite a special archetypal English village.

Thisn skew brick arch bridge has a very skill full alignment of brick courses.



This girl just keeps plodding on.

We end our walk in the historic village of Wallingford. Picturesque views abound. We then seek out public transport back to Streatley for our last night. Note the vitrified (blue glazed) ends of the stretcher bricks.
