I bumbled from Kensal Green over to Uxbridge today; a pleasant enough trip, even when sitting behind a boat doing tickover - very much my problem, not theirs. I stopped to make a cup of tea, and by the time I caught up with them, they'd moored. ;-) It was strangely easy to straight past the entrance to the Slough Arm, still not signposted, although I shoudl know where it is by now. ;-) I moored just in front of a very very sweet 30' boat; didn't really see inside, but it seems to be a back cabin with loo setup and then a kind of faux-clothed front hold containing the bedroom. I also admired the extended hold on 'G's Cargo', where Glenda makes her cratch covers... ;-)
Tucked away in the verge, just by where I'm moored was this small old milestone - 'To the Thames - 10 Miles'. I can't help suspecting it used to be a lot more prominent...

Say hello to Glenda from us if you see her.

The 30 foot boat may very well be Glenda's 'sewing room'. I know they were looking to buy a small boat to use in that way and the last time we, briefly, saw them they were towing something although we couldn't see what.

We did discuss you, but like naming the boat behind me, I try to be fairly circumspect on the internet... ;-)
They do indeed have a second boat with them - didn't really see it, but they said it was 42 years old and still going strong.
The guy behind me (life would be so much easier if I'd named his boat) owned 'Carpathia' for a while - remember that one from Iver? Said it was too big for him...
