We bid farewell to Hereford and drive in a leisurely manner to Henley On Thames, where we spend the night with Cherries childhood friend Rob Cudmore

A third generation polo player and former Australian international polo player, Rob is now the Polo Manager at Black Bears Polo Club, one of the biggest and most prestigious clubs in the UK, with a huge number of players based on site, and tournaments every weekend across the levels.

I could sit and listen to Rob’s stories, and his breathtaking connections for days, but alas I’m old. And tired. So off to bed.

Today starts with a tour of the estate that Rob lives on and the polo fields, facilities, and gobsmacking infrastructure that he manages. It’s all too much to absorb for this city slicker. But just wonderful and a true privilege to be here.

Off to London now.
