London at last!

Since our last post we have recovered, well Jenny has and Sid's back is improving! We have also had a Barclaycard fraud notification, moved the car from Apsley to Packet Boat Marina, met the very helpful Maeve from PBM who administers three BWML's, been up and down the Slough Arm (more of that at a later date) and have now arrived at the Paddington Basin, in the heart of London. We are moored in the shadow of St Mary's Hospital.

Today has been perfect! A lazy morning followed by a lovely walk along the towpath, through Little Venice, stopping at a little restaurant overlooking the Maida Tunnel on the Regents Canal for brunch - delicious - then continuing our walk along the Canal as far as London Zoo then returning through Regents Park. We had afternoon tea on the boat and are now having a very nice glass of beer in a pub on a roundabout under the Westway!!!!!
I have just noticed it has four huge screens for footie fans! And, apparently, Italy must beat Costa Rica!!!!!
