Famous Faces

Opposite to where we are moored is a restaurant over looking the water. On the 8th a very noisy party was going on and looking to see what it was all about, saw to my surprise John Sargent having conversation with Nick Leslau who was one of the secret millionaires on BBC2 ( Nick appeared on the BBC program High Street Dreams on Friday). We recognised quite a few faces but couldn't for the life of us put a name to them. The next day Tim, the mooring officer, came over and on mentioning about the famous faces at the restaurant told us that it was on a boat moored still in Little Venice that Richard Branson had his recording studio and that Tubular Bells ( Mike Oldfield) was the first recording ever made on that boat. Apparently on the walls of the bathroom is the signatures of many of the artist and one of the conditions of sale was that the walls were never to be altered in any way.
