Henley Royal Regatta

So as part of the social season we went to the Henley Royal Regatta along the Thames River(about an 1.5 hour train ride outside London). They sectioned off the river to make way for the crew boats and then smaller private boats pulled up along the edges and grandstands were set up on bank for everyone to watch the races.




Many of the spectators were reliving their glory days and had on their old crew blazers all adorn with colorful strips and patches. Some even had funny beanies like the guy above. And then there were a few in wife beaters.....

Like in the USA there has been a dramatic drop in the bee population over the last few years and they are doing huge public awareness campaigns throughout the UK to educate the public.....like this girl in a short dress and giant bee hive on her head :o)
