A lazy start to the day and then a walk in the park nearest to H’s flat. I was unaware how many decent sized parks there are in South London. A really splendid view of the City awaited us at the top of the rise. H, who had been wanting a game of charades, was delighted to find a little pixie like circle of individual benches where we sat and played a few rounds! Made it feel a bit like Christmas al fresco!
En route back to the narrowboat our uber took in the central London Christmas lights which I thought were amazing! Especially the houseman Berkeley Square. Added to the fact we could get out of the car and safely take pictures from the middle of the road!
Arriving back at the boat we were pleased to see it all intact and none the worse for our absence. I had awoken in the night thinking we hadn’t turned off the water before we left and had visions of burst pipes but R was one ahead of me so my sleepless night need not have been!
