Up the Lee

Today I started off up the Lee. The weather wasn't perfect but it was mostly dry with little wind and I was getting stir crazy. Luke offered to come with me to ensure I was happy with these locks and he stayed until lunchtime. We were going to go to the pub at Ponders End but the guy there was so condescending that we went to a cafe instead. Neither Luke nor I like to be spoken to as if we are children! ! Perhaps he was having a bad day but customer service is everything. After lunch Luke cycled back to his boat,I lit a lovely cosy fire and settled down with a book.
