We said hello as we walked past Jane on the towpath, and waved to Dave on the boat without realising these were the people we were supposed to be meeting. So we were a little later, and a little more tired than planned when we eventually met. They moored up next to us and we had a very enjoyable chat with them before and after dinner in the evening. Their boat is very cosy, with a country cottage feel inside. It is quite a contrast to the modern lines inside Bartimaeus.
