Godalming

To our regular viewers we are very sorry for the break in communication.  Since arriving in the Guildford/Godalming area we have had lots of visitors and therefore not the opportunity to get to pubs for internet access.

We had a very good if somewhat emotional weekend in Guildford.  Adam joined us on Sunday for a Fathers Day lunch, which was lovely and we whiled away a very pleasant afternoon and evening in the beautiful sunshine.  The only disappointment was that along the Wey in Guildford there was not one Ice Cream van.  A missed business opportunity for someone.

Another beautiful day on Monday and we had a visit from Simon and Lucy.  We enjoyed a very pleasant  afternoon and evening.

The mooring was so good at Dapdune Wharf that we decided to have another night there.  It is a little gem in the middle of Guildford and the historic wharf is well worth a visit.  We played 'tourists' whilst we were in Guildford and visited the castle, which was a revelation to us both and Sid had never seen Alice Through the Looking Glass in the castle grounds before.

We moved on to Godalming on Tuesday and arrived at the Wharf in glorious sunshine once again.  Although it is situated right next to Sainsbury's and a retail park it is a delightful mooring with lots of river interest.

A very pleasant evening with 'old' friends on Tuesday evening was followed on Wednesday by a visit from Jenny's mum.  We had a lovely little cruise along the river and passed the horse drawn canal boat along the way.  Marge really enjoyed her afternoon and fulfilled a lifelong ambition to cruise in a narrowboat.  The sun shone once again, which made it especially nice.

We have been 'tourists' in Godalming today and discovered a whole lot more about this charming little town than we knew before.

"Can I have a ride too, please!"
