Day 5 Henley-On-Thames

 

We traveled to Henley-on-Thames by train. Henley is a small town world-famous for its rowing.  Henley can also be described as a small town where posh people live.

 

We had a very pleasant lunch at a small café called The Spoon. The avocado toast was sublime.

 

After visiting John and Paul's houses, our goal today was to visit George's house. Of course, we didn't expect to see him, but just being where he lived was a great satisfaction.George Harrison bought Friar Park in 1970 and lived there until his death. During his years there, he restored the buildings and gardens. His widow, Olivia Harrison, still lives on the estate. Their only child, Dhani Harrison, grew up in Friar Park.  We couldn't see the house, or should I say the manor house, but we were right next to the fence.

 


Before and after the pilgrimage to the famous fence, we enter small boutiques and a art gallery.

We returned late in the afternoon and went to the grocery store before heading back for drinks and dinner. We had planned to have drinks on the small terrace, but it was too cold. We entered our cozy home after about 10 minutes.
