Nuala's weekend on " Middle Watch"

 

Saturday  to Monday 27—29 July 

Another memorable weekend with Nuala passed too quickly.

 





Tourists by the Bridge



A meeting of cousins



Nuala and Dad

 Chatting, laughing, walking, eating all interspersed with Nuala going off on independent runs, walks, and even a cycle ride to Greenwich (thus justifying the carriage of the bikes, which haven’t been used so far) 

Nadine and Molly arrived on Saturday to see their “big cousin” (who is now not at all so big!), and while the lash-up tarpaulin kept  us dry in the afternoon, it didn’t prevent Nadine being drenched to the skin in a thunderstorm on her way home.





A beach by The Tower?





Sunday saw us meandering around Butler’s Wharf, Tower Bridge and Shad Thames, where Gill produced a Prosecco voucher which washed down a meal at the local Pizza Express. Sunday afternoon’s excitement was the bicycle adventure, when Nuala set off to visit some friends at Greenwich, some 5 miles distant.



A happy tourist trio



On Monday, another lazy morning (including a photo-shoot of the Queen’s barge “Gloriana” )preceded a superb lunch (Nuala’s treat) at the Little Ship Club, and then she was off to catch her train home while we walked back, passing the unveiling event for the new BMW i3.

All set for lunch
