Sunday 21st June 2009

We had a good start to the day after an uneventful night in Paddington Basin. As it was fine we went for a walk to investigate the local area.

Lottie and Lee arrive for the day

As it was Father's Day, Lottie and Lee arrived at lunchtime to spend the day with us.

We walked round to Little Venice admiring all the boats on the canal. It was quite busy as yet again the sun was shining.

The "Boat House" Restaurant

where we had an enjoyable

lunch and catch up

We stopped at this canalside restaurant for lunch and had a pleasant afternoon catching up and watching any movement on the canal.


We waited for half an hour

but he didn't move
( well cast iron doesn't)

I had to take this picture as I thought it was one of the living statues but it turned out to be a sculpture. I wondered how he had managed to stay so still for such a long time.

A last cuddle before the off

All too soon it was time for them to go as they both have work tomorrow and believe it or not they had four tube rides to get home!
