About three hours after we started we have arrived in Pangbourne complete with muddy boots, good job Andy brought us a change of shoes for the journey home.
What a good walk we liked the big houses on the other bank as we walked out of Reading and were intrigued at the stretch where there were houses alongside the river with houses on the hill behind them. We wondered how the people in the houses on the hill mowed their lawns and, if they had motor mowers, whether they might press the accelerator too hard and end up in the gardens below!
We were amazed at the thought of Charles I playing bowls on the lawn running down to the Thames at Hardwick House. Hardwick House is thought to be the model for Toad Hall so we were close to Ratty's house.
