London again....












A nice bit of East End graphics as we had a good trip down past the Olympic site and through Camden. Fuelled up at Springfield Marina. Here 'til next Wednesday morning.












Emerging from Camden Lock - dodging the tour boats



















a very nice mooring in Paddington. Surrounded by new development and right next to the morgue of St.Mary's Hospital.


















The 4pm shift loaded up at the "4th Plinth" in Trafalgar Square - all in pink, throwing pink darts, pink sweets and armed with a bottle of pink champagne. Mildly amusing and obviously providing a talking point. Think her mum might have been standing next to me - she was very proud........





















and to my crew's delight, a free lunchtime session at the "Ignite" restaurant at the Albert Hall by Darius Brubeck - Dave's son. Very good - and so was the coffee and cake.
An old friend, Peer, from the Netherlands,spent the night - he is visiting his family. 3 is definitely a crowd on Moondaisy, but he was, as always, good company. The emegency air-bed was blown up and the owner had a memorably squeaky, bouncy, uncomfortable night.......
