We are holding a one week sale (of summer clothes, so pray for sun!) in Wallingford and one in Marlow beginning

Henley Regatta
Scones and Pimms anyone?
This evening our family attended the Henley Regatta, quite possibly the largest regatta in the world and certainly the most famous. Not only did we attend the regatta, but we attended as posh members of “Phyllis Court” the
