Shepperton to Runnymede with company

After a trip to the timber merchants to collect some wood, we met up with Ray & Diane at Shepperton, a pre-arranged meeting after their epic voyage around the London's sights.

Leaving Shepperton lock.
We all had a meal together with Glyn & Christine in Thames Court, the food was very good but the entertainment- a solo artist with electric guitar playing in wake the dead mode was annoying. The meal over we moved away from the din to continue the evening in comfort.

Ray, Andy, Diane, Sue, Christmas, Glyn.
After doing a couple of errands in the village we set off in convoy bound for Runnymede stopping en route to fill the water tanks at Chertsey lock.

 Mike & Viv picked us up in the evening for a Toby carvery in Old Windsor, we will have to get some exercise in to offset the last few days socialising.
