We actually arrived on Tues 12th June and having been warned by Carol that Paddington basin was going to be shut for dragonboat racing on the day we planned to arrive, so instead we triple moored with narrowboats Parisienne Star (Elly and Mick) and Winton's Folly (Carol and Barry) in Little Venice.
Have been to see the workings of Tower bridge which was new to us, beautifully kept engines and quite incredible that you can walk inside the bridge.
Thursday we visited HMS Belfast and spent the day climbing ladders! Andy said I was very brave, in all those small spaces! Here he is with his new guns to help us get through the locks without queuing!
Weather lousy today - raining, but had a successful trip to Hamleys and purchased some birthday presents for the grandchildren.
Oh my god I love your blog! I have one too but I don't think you can access it as it's on the school network! My parents are soooo cool! X
ReplyDeleteWell done Jean! Now we can follow each others' progress as we cruise.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
