...turreted Gothic mansion at Henley-on-Thames used to be a Salesian Sisters' convent. Now the 35-acre estate will ring not to hymns but to a different sound of music. Beatle George Harrison and Wife Pattie have traded in their ranch-style Surrey bungalow and bought the 30-room domain...

Henley-on-Todd is the Aussies' put-down of England's very proper Henley-on-Thames Regatta. Fun it may be, but it also involves work: slogging through the sand of the riverbed is exhausting...
