Maggot turns up

After spending about 4 hours painting the 2 new internal doors, a couple of poles and the new box/step for the front door, we wended our way home for a quite afternoon. On the way home I bought two lengths of 2.4m patio decking to make a gang plank so, rather than collapsing on the sofa, I spent 2 hours battoning them together. Not bad for £13.

After tea, Gena rang to say that Maggot, the sign writer had turned up on site and had completed the names and scroles. She said it all looked good but he would be back tomorrow to make any finishing touches. If we wanted to meet him and check that we liked his handiwork, we could so we agreed to pop back at 6.00pm.

Mick confirmed again that the transporter is booked for this Saturday, so everything is still on track for the launch.

On a personal note, I see that a few people have read my blog - mainly from the UK but some from the USofA and even Russia.  You can't all be our family and friends so I really hope you have enjoyed following what we have been up to. It would be great to hear from you on anything we have done or anything you may be doing.

I would particularly like to hear from anyone who is based in or visits the Fens and Levels of East Anglia. In a weeks time, we will be mooring Skylark between Ely and Cambridge and will be exploring every inch of the Fens over next few years. Please leave a comment - we would love to hear from you.
