We decided to take a trip up to Abergavenny and hoped the weather would be fine.

Roaming the hills at Abergavenny looking for a red dog running free.

Even climbed Skirrid Fawr (the holy Mountain) but no red dog was to be found.

Back in London, we headed off to Henley on Thames for our weekly dose of pomp.

The annual Royal Regatta at Henley attracts thousands of people where British Rowing Clubs and invitees race off in head to head knockouts over three days.

As a finishing touch, the Queen's fancy rowing machine, the Gloriana, was moored at the regatta. The Gloriana was built in 2010 specifically to be used in this year's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The cost of construction was half a million pounds.
