Tuesday 15th July: The abundant wheat and barley was being harvested this week around Oxfordshire. On the way back from Reading, the car radios here broadcast road reports which automatically interrupt your CD or other radio station so you can avoid any impending problems, which are fairly frequent, especially on the major roads. Tomorrow we will drive around the M25 to Brighton, and this facility is very useful.

Reading and Goring
Tuesday 15th July: Our last day in Oxfordshire started with a trip to Reading town and some shopping in preparation for our return to France and Australia at the modernised mall 'The Oracle'. We took the scenic route along the Thames via Goring and Pangbourne, through the many avenues of trees shading the roadways. Goring lock is often used as a postcard image of England, very pretty location on the Thames. Water is very turbulent over the Weir due to the recent precipitation!
