Limehouse Basin, London. UK

It's a sunny, relatively warm day in Limehouse today but the weather is definitely autumnal and when it rains it really rains. Callisto was in good shape, having sat for 6 weeks.
We have been busy with family stuff and these activities are finally coming to an end.
The visits began with Jenifer and Ed who returned from their Asian vacation on their way to Barcelona to join a new boat and leave to cross the Atlantic. This one is 93 metres long!
James and Katie came to stay for a week and we did lots of touristy stuff in London and visited lots of micro breweries stashed in darkest Bermondsey.
Jessica and Ben and the babies came by to visit with uncle James and a pleasant day was had by all.
Ann's mother has achieved the grand age of 90 years and we celebrated that with a family lunch at the Bel and Dragon in Cookham. A lady's only tea is planned for this weekend so it looks like I will be on baby patrol while this event occurs.
We have some trips arranged for the next few months, to La Rochelle, Berlin and Prague. Hopefully, the weather won't get too cold and damp.So far, it hasn't been bad. The heating on the boat is fine for the ambient temperatures but it is only September. We may have to invest in more space heaters and timers.
