My mum and I then sat down and waited for the talk to begin, while Niki continued to chat with the other visitors.

Or, taking the Elizabeth line to Bond Street and then a train to Baker Street and then home, but we stuck with our original plan, taking the Jubilee line to Baker Street and then a Metropolitan line train home,
We bought coffee at Baker Street and enjoyed the uneventful ride back to Croxley, from where we decided to take a leisurely stroll, to Watford, along the peaceful Grand Union Canal towpath, and up to mum's house, before I headed home myself.
A thoroughly entertaining and informative evening that we both enjoyed.

Before Ms Gorick began her talk we were treated to a short 6 minute-or-so film about the Theatreship, tracing the work undertaken in the Netherlands and her voyage to her new home in West India Docks.
The Artship.
We then made our way back out to the bar area, where my mum purchased a signed copy of the book. The friendships and acquaintances that she managed to nurture also allowed for her to 'be in the know' when certain events or ships were due to use the docks.
Following the talk, which lasted about 45 minutes, Ms Gorick answered some questions from the audience.
As there was no signal within the ship, we had to make our way to the top deck to complete the purchase, which gave us a chance to exchange emails and for me to have a photo opportunity. Service is a way of life and that’s our northern star and we’re grateful to the community for the support. Following this I managed to have a quick talk with Inigo Lapwood, who had been acting as the technician ensuring the right photo appeared at the right time, about the Theatreship and his next boat project...

After taking the obligatory photos of the surrounding buildings and the Theatreshipwe boarded the vessel, and made our way downstairs to the bar area.
It was while we waited for our drinks that a lady approached and asked, "Are you Daryl?" I replied "Yes." and then she introduced herself as Niki Gorick.
After introducing Niki to my mum we all discussed history and photography, before I informed Niki that we had a mutual friend in my manager, which started another conversation. Aged 17, I didn’t heed his warning and he was absolutely right. What we found (with no time to spare) was a like-minded community of people who proudly proclaim that the easy life is not for us.
When you’ve survived the things that we have, and your inspiration in life becomes normal people doing extraordinary things, what you realize is that you don’t owe less — you owe more.
There was Burrito, Chinese, Greek, Indian and Lebanese.
I welcome photographic commissions, so do contact me to discuss any ideas you may have.
In 2008, while I was in Special Forces and Emily was in the CIA, we started GORUCK out of her house in war-torn West Africa.
(I follow Niki on 'X' and was one of the backers for her other book 'Faith in the City of London'), from where she had obviously recognised me. But sometimes you have to put all your chips on the table and say come what may. I’m still driven by the challenge of catching those defining moments when all the elements come together to convey the true character of this great city of London.

It was a little bit of rush to leave work, head home, get changed and walk to Watford Metropolitan station, to catch the train to London.
So thank you.
