Mary and Kelly cooked a fantastic meal.

Last night we had a family gathering of Hilary's family when Hilary's father and step mother travelled from Worcester.

One of the obstacles that we had to avoid was a swimmer in the canal at Islington.

On Saturday it was an early start as we planned to reach Waltham Abbey with Julie and Tom on Wine Down.
The only problem was that we got stuck in Tottenham Lock as the lock gates failed to open.

Sadly a body had been found in the canal on Friday and all cruising was stopped.

On Friday brother Phil joined us for the weekend and helped us cruise to Harlow.

Yesterday we had our second trip up the Thames and this time we managed to see the Houses of Parliament before the rain come down.
Thanks to Joe and Kim for being our radio operators for the trip.

We have braved the wind and rain to cruise from Limehouse to Brentford.

Yesterday we travelled to Limehouse cruising through the Shoreditch Festival.
