We went as far as Victoria Park where Kirsty had worked out that they could easily get back home. We look forward to seeing them shortly at their wedding, amazed they had time to fit us in but very glad they did. Also here was Paul, Shane’s uni friend from Birmingham, who was in London for a few days. They crossed places with him, with a brief hi and goodbye and we were away again through a couple more locks with a new passenger, though he has been here before. There was still the new experience of the overtipping lock for him. I had to sit astride the lock arm to wind, as there was a puddle where I should be standing.
