Beale Park mooring to Wallingford

The girls are only with us for 3 and a bit days and have today been doing the locks for us after a night and a BBQ at Beale Park ...
 ... past a very pretty cottage ...
 ... a working boat ...
 ... a glass room with river view ...
 ... to Goring Lock ...
 ... and Wallingford bridge ....
 ... we walked into town ...
 ... past some lovely ...
 ... buildings ...
 ... to the centre ...
 ... market square ...
 ... and Wallingford Cottage Hospital where number 1 grandchild was born 18 years ago this Friday ...
 ... the last remaining structure of Wallingford Castle on Castle Meadow ...
 ... with the spire of St Peter's Church taken from the towpath ...
 ... before we set off once more ... Louise holding steady while waiting for the lock to be readied at Benson ...
 ... although we'd been told by the lock keepers that the river was low there was still water through the weir here.  We moored once again at Beale Park - tomorrow (Wednesday) is the girls last day with us.
