New Year

Another year has come and gone, we decided to celebrate New Year in a river-style by going on a little trip. On New Years eve we set off, togther with Hannh, Ed and Harry in 'Jenner' to go a little way upriver for a change of scene. Jenner is shown below leaving her mooring.

 I should point out in fairness that the only reason we're in front in the picture above is that we're the slower boat, so Ed is waiting for us to get to the lock.

At Bell Weir we managed to get both boats in with plenty of room to spare.

 

 We only went as far as the Runnymeade park which is about 500 yards upriver of the lock. Once there we cracked open some bubbly while the boys played in the back deck area of Jenner.

We rounded out the afternoon by trekking to a pub, which was further away and muddier than we had thought. We did see some fireworks at midnight, but the best display by far was the one we saw on TV down by the London Eye.

The next day saw us joined by Mat, who put his 1000-yard stare to good use at the bow. Until it started to rain when we all just stood inside the wheelhouse.

A lovely couple of days was rounded off once back at the mooring by being snug inside, whiskey in hand and 'The Eagle has Landed' on the box.
