EHC

A good nights sleep was disturbed by the Viber conversation that started at 07:20..... it's great to hear from the core. While we shook of the nights slumbers, showered and breakfasted we got updates of Dot & Gordons progress towards Windsor. 

Here comes Dot & Gordon
After mooring EHC, we walked with crew Dot & Gordon to watch the changing of the guard before having coffee at a local bistro. We decided while the girls did some shopping and visited the coiffeur, Gordon and I would replace the fuel filters on FL.  To cut a long story short after replacing the filters, a mouthful of diesel for me ( I do prefer the red) FL was ticking over perfectly.

By this time the girls had arrived back at the boats with new hair do's, it was of to find lunch. A few bars were looked at and dismissed before we settled in the Henry VI for pints of Doombar and champers.

 Somehow we found ourselves in Weatherspoons  Steak club day and the champers continued to flow.

 On the walk back to the boat I was a little peckish and popped my head into a deli as I liked the look of the custard tarts on show, £5.50 each .... poke em.
