The River Thames in London. St Pauls Cathedral sitting in the sunshine. Our plan had been to spend my last day in London going down to Greenwich to see the Emirates Air Line.

Tell tale statue commemorating Nelson Mandela close to Waterloo Station. Looking down the River Thames.

The adventures of Gary and Carolyn living aboard and continuously cruising the uk canals and rivers on narrowboat Inca. Sunday, 16 August 2015. Tixall lock and again we were third in line to go up .

A collection of like minded people who like to use their caravans, motorhomes etc on a regular basis. Tuesday, 20 December 2016.

This is my journey into retirement, choosing to live full time in a mobile home and travel around New Zealand seeing the sights. Sunday, August 2, 2015. I have just checked and it has been over a month since the last post! That is not a very good track record for a blogger. I must say though I have been a bit busy with my position here at Port Jackson. After a high tide and severe winds, it looks like that one will have to be cleaned regularly. So it has been a very busy time .
