catch,n Up....part 2....





While moored up in Paddington we had a day of visitors to the NB....

First up our sons, Tait, friends turned up for a collection...



 

Nick on the left, who has been in London for a couple of months, and Ricky who only arrived the day before called to collect a selection of fresh baking that Leonie had done for them.
From our home town in NZ they were familiar with Leonies excellent baking and didn't need two phone calls to make the meeting.....

Then from Hastings,NZ, a good friend of Leonies mum was in London and we were pleased Sue caught up with us.....



Leonie, Sue, Sue's son Andrew who lives in London and his partner Laura.....
Great to catch up with everybody....

Next day, Monday, was an early start as we headed to St, Pancreas Station to meet the Euro Star from Paris.....

On board..

 



Special Cargo... son Myers and partner Liv, over on holiday from Melbourne.....
Walking from station to catch bus back to NB.......
After 15 months it was awesome to catch up and spend 3 days together....on the NB moored in Paddington....

We all done the customary sightseeing thing.....

All that walking and seeing led to more of a thirst....
