A local Norfolk businessman had heard about our company and all that we get up to, and was very impressed. In recognition of all our good work he gave us 6 complimentary tickets to an evening cruise on the Thames followed by a dusk flight on the London Eye.
We gave some thought to who should go. Eddie was an obvious choice as there was a boat trip involved and Patrick had never been to London, so he definitely had to go. Then the guys were kind enough to say that Yorkie and myself (George) should go to research the entry for the Friendly Planet Guide. We had a draw for the remaining 2 tickets and these went to Chelmer & Rocco.
In our excitement we turned up early. As we waited for our boat trip on the jetty we had a great view of the Eye and really enjoyed anticipating the flight we were soon to have.
Eddie in his usual Eddie-ish way was completely absorbed by the boating activity on the River Thames.
He was particularly interested in the size of this tug's tow and said he would have loved to be in the shoes of the tug captain, as a tug, is one type of boat he has still to try out.
As the light began to fade it became quite atmospheric. Eddie remembered that all of the sights of London were new to Patrick and sat him down beside him to point out some prominent landmarks ...
... the most famous being Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
We didn't have long to wait before our cruise boat arrived and it was time to board. Catch up with us again soon.
Lots of Love, George, Yorkie and friends xxx
