We went to Shepperton Lock today.

今日はシェパトンロックに。
川や運河にあるロックについてはまた後日詳しくということで・・・

Daddy took us to Shepperton Lock today. I quite like it there because I can get on the boat to get to the other side of the river Thames.



車でテムズ川のシェパトン側に行き、そこからボードで反対側のウェイブリッジに渡りました。




ボートは１５分毎に行き来。一人往復３ポンド。
ボートで岸から岸はほんの数分。でもとっても気持ち良いので
COCOをはじめマミーもダディも大好き。シルキーは初体験。どう思ったかな？



I had got on this boat before but it was first time for Silky. It was only a few minutes boat trip but it is very relaxing being on the water. Can we get a big boat like the one with black doggie, daddy?



ダディ、COCOもこんな白いボートほしいわぁ。ワンちゃんが乗ってるやん。
このボートは個人の方のですが、朝９時から夕方５時までで
１２０ポンド程で借りられるボートもあります。



The other side of the river is Weybridge. We walked along the river and today we explored a new area, the island in the river. We found a shallow part of the river and mummy threw a twig and I jumped in to get it.

今日はウェイブリッジ側の新たな場所を散策。
テムズ川沿いに歩いていると浅い部分があったのでマミーが小枝をポーン！
拾いに行ったCOCOは突然深みに深みにはまってアワワ～って感じで
岸にやっとこさ上がってきました。ごめんねー、COCO（マミー）。

Woof!! I could see the bottom when I jumped in but it suddenly got deep so my legs didn’t touch the ground in the water. Mummy was surprised and I was desperate to get back on the shore. Phew.....

Now mummy was laughing and daddy quietly said “She can swim”. I wanted a bit more sympathy.

We carried on walking and then got on the boat again to come back to the Shepperton side. There is a small outside cafe which opens in spring and summer time. We sat there and had a lovely cream tea before coming home.

ボートでシェパトン側に戻り、いつものアウトドアカフェで
クリームティー（紅茶とスコーンのセット）を頂きました。
このカフェはイースターから秋頃まで営業します。

It is very cosy sitting there watching the boats and birds and feeling the cooling breeze. I often see doggies there and today there were two Chihuahuas. I think you can see how comfortable it was there from the expression on his face.



木陰で川沿い。そよ風がソヨソヨで気持ち良くって、
マミーもダディーもCOCOもここが大好き。シルキーも気に入ったかな？
見てください、この２匹のチワワちゃんの表情。気持ちええわぁ～って感じでしょ？



There is a pretty cottage where the lock keeper lives just next to the outside cafe. Daddy, can I live there if you become the lock keeper? Then I can have a nice cream tea everyday can’t I?

カフェ横にはロックを操作する人が住むコテッジが。正面から見るとスッゴイ可愛いです。
なのに、なぜ横からの写真なのか？

Woof? I can cook for the cafe, and then the cafe will be called “Cafe Coco ”, and Silky and mummy can work as the staff while daddy is operating the locks, can’t they?



溺れかけて濡れた毛も乾き、たくさん歩いてCOCOもシルクもお疲れさん。
この後、家で２匹は爆睡でした。
ダディ、明日も休みよ！どこに連れてってくれるんかしら？ワクワクワク…。



I am very sleepy now. Daddy is wondering why I am tired like this. It is the shock daddy!! I was about to drown!!
