Going to the river is such a lovely treat. There's something special about messing about by the water so we headed to Henley this morning. We drove through the beautiful Chiltern hills to get there and I realised (again) just how lucky we are to live in such a great part of the country. Just a few of the things we saw on the way were two partridges by the side of the road, a hare running through a field, woods carpeted with bluebells and an amazing field covered in cowslips.
When we got to the river we found the cutest little goslings...

| Canada geese family |
... as well as some very noisy ducks and swans.

| Mallard |
 |
| Very strange (but pretty) coloured duck |
 |
| Egyptian geese |
We watched the boats and climbed some trees, then the kids played in the playground.
 |
| The tree of doom ... fall out and you plunge into boiling lava! |
On the way home I couldn't resist stopping to take a picture of the cowslips. I don't think I've ever seen such a big field, so completely covered in cowslips. It was a real spectacle.
It was the perfect way to spend the bank holiday.
