Today is our day for boating on the Thames with Brian and Sue. We left our hotel near Guildford early and drove to Kingston before catching the tube and DLR to get to Limehouse where their boat is waiting for us. kingston was a nightmare for parking. It took ages to find somewhere.
Brian's boat.
When we arrived at the boat we spent a few hours chatting to Brian, Sue and Janet. We went to a very old pub for a drink before coming back to the boat for some sandwiches for lunch.
Sue once again drying the chairs.
After lunch Janet and her daughter left and we set off to the first lock to get out into the Thames proper.

The old favourites again. Hard to see this time through the driving rain.
The weather deteriorated as the day progressed and several times we got very wet. The rain was horizontal at times and stinging to the face.
Anther lock.
Several times the sun popped out and we went back up in deck only to get rained on again.
Brian and Sue dropped us off at Kingston and we drove back to our hotel after some tea at the pub.
