Bit of a catch up. I’ve
been unwell the last couple of days and there’s no other bloggers in
residence.
Finally today I’ve felt a bit better and managed to catch up on the work
I was behind with.
Mick has been keeping himself occupied with washing and
cleaning and polishing. The outside of
the boat is spotless! He’s cleaned all
the windows, polished the paintwork, and today he removed the timber handle
from the tiller bar and gave that a going over.
His burst of enthusiasm has been sparked by the upcoming
visit by our neighbours from home. They’ll
be with us in 2 weeks time and he wants everything ship shape by the time they
arrive. I had a chat on the phone with Jen
today... it was so nice to hear her voice. We’re both really looking forward to their visit. It will be the first people from home I’ve
seen since we left.
A familiar face peered in the window just after we finished
our lunch. Jim and Joan from nb Two Jays
had returned from their family visit.
Joan came in later for the obligatory cup of tea and a catch up. Carol will be home tonight from her few days
away. It’s like a little Aston Marina
gathering! Speaking of Aston Marina… we’ll
be back there this Winter so will look forward to catching up with the gang
again.
Today Ray came and collected us for dinner at their new
home. Maggie cooked a lovely meal… thanks
Maggie! It was great to see their house
after hearing about it for quite some time.
Such a tale of real estate woe but they did finally end up with the
prize. It’s a fantastic house with a
lovely garden too. After dinner they
drove us back to the Saltisford Canal Centre and we had a wander around the
gardens and checked out our mooring.
