Ford and Flockhart

A missing day on the blog!

Couldn’t find time yesterday to post as I was working out the route of the Big River Trip (and watching Robertson and Emms put in an exciting performance against the Chinese in the Olympic badminton final).

The Other Half and I will be taking the good ship Ganges out of the marina on Sunday and navigating our way up Bow Creek. I have never done this, so it should be fun, submerged shopping trolleys permitting.





We will overnight by Three Mills, where First Mate Steve will join us.

The next few days will be spend cruising up the rivers Lee and Stort. Two days back at work, then back on board to cruise home.

What fun! We will be like Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, but not quite so manly or thin, respectively.

Last night The Other Half treated me to dinner in Smollensky’s in Wapping. The food was ok, the jazzman (pianist/singer) mildly irritating but the view was spectacular. To the left was Tower Bridge, which framed a gorgeous sunset. Opposite was the lights of Butler’s Wharf and throughout the evening, there were plenty of pleasure boats crusing up and down. Lovely.

I will hopefully have a full River Trip update on Thursday, complete with photos!

Have fun ‘til then.

(ps - if anyone wants an F-Reg Polo, give me a call)
