Narrow-boating on the Thames

I flew to Heathrow on June 18th and arrived at 10 pm. I was very kindly met by my friend Dugald who took me to the narrowboat that he and his wife Wendy live on. Dugald and I met at kindergarten at the age of four.

The next day we were joined by his brother Hugh, and had a little cruise up the Thames.
