Hooray Henley ~ Friday 30/6/06

Usual Friday at Henley ... actually went a bit later this year (I overslept) and it was less crowded on the trains. Thinking about it, it seemed oddly quieter this year all round ...

Had a couple of very good free G&Ts courtesy of Millers ... bimbled along to Remenham Barn and had a couple of pints of Pimms during the tea interval. Then as the races started again Peter and I sat and dangled our feet into the water, opposite Temple Island as the shells shot past us.

After a few more Pimms at the Start Bar, we then sauntered back up the course and crossed over the bridge for a pint at the Angel. Sitting by the water, under the Angel's awning a strange sight came into view. Some Bright Young Things had an altogether novel idea of taking to the water casual like and avoiding any dress regulations .. see below.

Had a couple of pints at the Angel, chatting to a nice couple called Matt and Petra then strolled along and caught a train back to London ... sat in First with a bunch of Boys from I forget where .. got back to London and went for a couple in Soho.
