On
the day Brad & Arlene were delayed we decided to go ahead with
our original plans, to spend the day gongoozling along the Regent
Canal & Paddington Basin and then go to ‘Wicked’ with Lyn &
Kevin. While we were standing on the bridge looking at all the boats
in Paddington Basin & right beside St. Mary’s Hospital A&E,
Edmund just happened to be taking a patient there. It was so lovely
to see him & Ella, sit in their ambulance & press their
‘available’ button, which immediately said they needed to blue
light to an unconscious patient, so a very brisk good-bye. We’d
arrange to meet up the following week on our way back from waving
Brad & Arlene off on Thursday, as both Ella & Edmund needed
help with their knitting.

Thursday
lunch time as planned we met Edmund & Ella at Ladbroke Grove & we had pizza in Portobello Road and a knitting tutorial,
which we carried on in The Elgin Arms, Ladbroke Grove. Edmund’s
boyfriend Josh just happened to be on his lunch break & joined us
for a pint too. It was quite shocking to see the burnt out skeleton
of Glenfell Towers from Ladbroke Grove.

| Last Friday by Apsley Marina |
Sandra and Pam from Hitchin Stitchin popped in to see us while we were at
Apsley, they didn’t bring any knitting though. The day before I’d
managed to do some knitting in the warm sunshine by Apsley Marina.
We
had a mega trip to the launderette at Apsley as we’d used up all
our towels & bed linen with our wedding guests. We got the
machines going & John settled to read his book & I was
puzzled as to where my knitting was…….Oh NO, we’d shoved it
into a hot wash, luckily my sock with it’s 5 needles stayed in it’s
bag, however, the pattern had turned into paper mache & had
embedded into the sock and the ball of wool, it was fine and I just
unpicked the sock & wound the yarn into a hank, shook it to get
the bits of paper & it looks fine.
Our
niece Alice & her boyfriend Mason came today for a ride & we
went down 4 locks winded (turned around) & came back up the same
4 locks to moor right near Alice’s house.

Oh no loosing your knitting is disastrous but watching it going for a spin must have been a nightmare. Glad you were able to unravel it.
