Chris and Sarah's trip to England (Part I)

Sarah and I headed back to England for my brother's wedding. Taking time away from a busy schedule, we managed to get a quick trip around Henley on Thames (where they have the Henley Regata), which was lovely:

It also had a great cake shop, which Sarah greatly appreciated:

The wedding was near (very near) to Wales, home of some of the best castles around. As we were in the border region, there were some amazing examples here, and we spent a day or two exploring some of the ones in our area. The castle at Raglan was one of the best:

We also ventured up some ever narrower lanes to visit some more out of the way castles. here is me looking relieved after reaching a particularly difficult to reach example. It was on the way to this castle I discovered the little-known Welsh tradition of upgrading a single track lane to a two way road by painting a dotted white line down the middle.
