Still in marina

We are still moored in the marina at Packet Boat, waiting for a repair to the starter. This morning - much colder than yesterday - we went to the morning service at St Matthew's Church in Yiewsley. Not only was it Mothering Sunday but there was also a baptism. As a result the church was quite full and it was a bit longer than usual. A small music group led the singing and a wide variety of members of the congregation  took some part of the service. There was also a good age range and grey heads (like us!) were in a minority.

After the end of the service we left quickly and walked back to the boat as we had an invite to Windsor for lunch. As well as Adrian's experimental paella we were treated to a slice of excellent Victoria sponge cake which Ellie had baked.

It was very cold as we made our way back to the boat - even looked as if it might snow at one point.

Tomorrow we will leave the boat for few days - calling in Sussex tomorrow to see Mike's mum and to have lunch with his sister. We have booked a hotel room on the way back home so it will not be a long trip in one go. However the weather forecast is not good. Hopefully when we return not only will it be a bit warmer but also boat will be fixed.
