For my birthday in February you know the one where us girls get a pittance from the state, can travel on buses for nothing and get cheap rail fares. (Paul has to wait a while to get his perks!!!!) l my daughter gave me a voucher for "Tea for two at the Ritz" up until now I have kept putting off booking it (you cant just turn up) so while we have been here at Hilmorton and I have a signal on the laptop I thought I would go for it
I had decided on a date in October so into the web site I went putting in all the relevant information and bugger me if they were fully booked for that date at all times during the day I tried a couple of alternatives and these too were full. In the end I settled for the first Monday in October at 5.30. Paul is staying on the boat (not his scene) so I am going to spend the weekend with Jess and she is going to partake of tea with me. We will have a good day in London and I CANT WAIT.

About Me
- nb piston broke
- After years of working,Paul and I retired early. I worked in accounts departments and Paul spent 39 years as an Electrical Mechanical engineer in the industrial refrigeration industry. Paul also served time as a refrigeration engineer officer with P&O, to-ing and fro-ing to NZ. In 2001 we decided to move to Spain where we bought an old Spanish finca that needed total renovation. We took our 1500 Goldwing with us to Spain planning to explore the country. But because of the amount of work that needed doing to the finca we were unable to get full use of our lovely motorbike. So it was shipped back to England where it was sold. It took us 3 1/2 years to finish the house, by which time Paul was hankering after another bike so we bought a new Honda VTX 1300 cruiser which was a pleasure to use with our biker friends. In 2007 the writing was on the wall so we decided to return to the UK and bought our lovely narrowboat which was a big step for me as I had never dreamt of living on a narrowboat. Paul has had sailing boats in the past and regulary crewed on a Medway Bawley Gaffer and raced in many local events. We are continuous cruisers planning to explore as much as we can.
