Karen and Tony had been following our blog and Sid's Facebook ramblings and after a phone met us on a glorious Sunday morning at Paddington Basin. Tony was gasping for a drink so we visited our local, The Dudley Arms where we enjoyed yet another very pleasant beer or two. No roasts available there so the next best seemed to be Italian!
Hence we spent a very convivial afternoon in the little restaurant we had found on Friday overlooking the Regents Canal above the Maida Hill Tunnel. Excellent!
Sunday afternoon!
Thanks for making the effort to find us.
Monday took us on the Regents Canal, past some beautiful houses, the Zoo and on through the dubious, canal regions of north east London, eventually after a long and sometimes eventful journey we arrived in Limehouse Basin. En route we managed to pick up a pair of navy overalls - wrapped round the prop, together with a vast array of plastic bags and an awful lot of debris!!!!!!
Monday morning!
Another phone call greeted us as we tied up in Limehouse, this time from one of Paul's former girlfriends, Monika. She works in Oxford Street and made her way to us for the evening. We had a lovely time catching up over a good meal and a couple of drinks in the Cruising Association Headquarters, which is adjacent to the basin.

Mum, please note the garden on the roof of the boat!
All Jenny's handiwork!
We now plan to explore the Lee Navigation and River Stort.
It was good to see you both, it was a lovely day and we enjoyed it too x
