Henley

Hello everyone!

It's good to be back here blogging whilst I can. Anyways, the picture below is of the piece of lamb i cooked, Gigot d'agneau de pre sale. LOL! Sounds very cool, but it's actually very simple to prepare. Anyways, it was not too bad, just that the smell of the lamb wasn't strong enough for me, and I added too much butter. It's still better than the veal in balsamic vinegar I cooked though.

Moving on, today, I had lunch at Jenny's place in Caversham (which is a pretty nice and apparently, a posh area). Her house is lovely! We had roasted beef and potatoes and some vege (yummy!), and a something "bomb" (hahah can't remember the name) for dessert. Unfortunately, I was too preoccupied with the food that I forgot to take some photos before we dig in. They're all very friendly and I truly appreciate the hospitality =)

Anyways, they have a very cute Labrador named Dickens:

After that fantastic lunch, we headed off to Henley to have a walk along the river Thames. Here, you can find lots of posh houses by the river bank. I would love to take a cruise from Reading to Henley in a few weeks time, when the leaves are all turning red and gold. Anyone up for it?

Dickens is a bit nervous about crossing wooden bridges with gaps where you can see the water below it. He tends to blunder along cutely.



Dickens fetching his.. uhg... toy.. from the river. He's very fond of the water for some reasons.

Notice the little "ladder" at the side, it's for fishes and eels to swim up against the current.

Good weather for an outing

Swans ( i think) swimming in formation lol

I shall try to get more artistic photos next time, since all of the ones I took were basically point and shoot lol. Hopefully, there shall be more stuff next week to blog about. And oh, proper work's gonna begin tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it, with a bit of trepidation.
