ONE WELCOMES ONE TO ROYAL BERKSHIRE

Another move of mine led me down south, to the picturesque county of Berkshire, just southwest of London and only a stone throw away from Heathrow Airport and Windsor ....

It's very pleasant and much more cultural down here and one can feel the vicinity of the great metropolis.

Huddled along the THAMES river are many beautiful houses and one can walk for miles on the river banks feeding the swans and gees - which there are plenty... and OUTCH, they do snap so watch it !
