In the afternoon we had arranged to meet our friends Ruth and Ian, who duly arrived off the clipper ferry from Greenwich. A nice reunion and then a walk along the south bank to St. Katherine's dock where we saw the Gloriana, had some refreshment, a good chinwag and the lift bridge rise to allow boats into

A real treat was to follow for us. Ian and Ruth had arranged that all of us would take the river boat to Greenwich to meet their son, Matthew, his wife Ursula and their two week old son Elijah. It was really good for us to meet them and catch up with all the news. We had a meal together and eventually we took the river boat back to the Eye and Waterloo where we were staying. The ending of the day was much better than the beginning. We packed most of our belongings ready for moving on in the morning.
