Reading Festival from the River

Being nosy we nipped along to Reading to see what was going on. Not much to see really, huge amounts of metal panelling had been used to keep out the riffraff and keep in the ticketholders.

Surprised to see how miserable everyone looked. The ferry boats were doing a good trade, moving people from the music to the camp-sites upstream at Tilehurst. All the usual boats were roped in, including the Caversham Princess and the Devon Belle.

Kaiser Chiefs looked good on tv Friday night though.

Nice place to break down

Poor Jane Morris broke down in Abingdon Marina. After a visit from Roger, a brilliant engineer, it was agreed a new carburettor was needed.

A few weeks later, she was up and running again and we travelled back to our Mapledurham home base.
