Limehouse Basin Marina, London, UK

We have been blessed with the most marvelous weather for the past week, here in London. The birthday tea last Saturday for the Admiral's mum apparently went well and a good time was had by all. We went back to the boat on Sunday and have again been touring London's hot-spots in this glorious Indian summer. The nights have been cold but the days, warm and sunny.
All that comes to a screeching halt on Monday when a new series of low pressure systems are due and it will cold and gray and rainy again. I'll have to get an electric blanket and a new space heater next week.


Dominic, the fuel guy finally showed up on Monday so took  on 200 litres to top off the tank for the winter.

The lunar eclipse last Sunday, the so-called "blood moon". The weather was so clear we just had to get up at zero dark thirty but it was worth it

A misty day at the Limehouse Basin and the duckweed is back. The marina looks like a swamp. Local knowledge suggests the presence of duck weed this late predicts a mild winter.
