Well who'd a thunk it? Were afloat on the boat at last. I think that's the longest time we've abandoned poor old Herbie in the 16 years we''ve owned her. Actually despite a chilly breeze we're more warm and cosy here than at home. Our son Peter who is a committed eco warrior has persuaded us to set our thermostat at home to 17 degrees, but here on the boat our little stove easily beats that with a handful of coal.
Today was the AGM of the Ventnor Marina Moorers Association so we thought we should show up and give some support to the committee who put in the effort to lay on occasional breakfasts, wine and cheese, barbeques and soup an sparklers during the year as well as craft demos and talks. Good eh?
The Association also represents moorers interests to the marina management so I was pleased that when I suggested rallying support for the provision of HVO diesel fuel at the the marina ther were some others equally keen. Maybe we'll make iit happen.
Were not venturing far this time, probably to Braunston and back. We might treat ourselves to lunch at the Gongoozlers Rest or maybe the Nelson. For added excitement we might even walk up the hill to the butchers shop and buy a pie. We might be old but we know how to live it up.

Good job your son doesn't live with us, 18 deg is the point I switch the heating on in the evening, I don't mind cooler during the day.
Had a very good meal in the Nelson a few weeks back, night after the storm. They were very busy and we were lucky to get a table
Ho very nice, Neil. It's good to hear you're getting back on Herbie again and enjoying the delights of the environs. Good for you!
