No news is good news??

Hello again, I didn't realize that it has been so long since I last made an entry on my blog!

Obviously if there is not much happening then you cannot report much I had a quick chat with Andrew of n.b. Granny Buttons (www.grannybuttons.com) as he passed on his way south. We had a useful chat about boats honeypotting around mooring sites with adjacent car parks!

Over the last few weeks I have been trying to give one side of the boat a repaint. On the advice of a painter who used to work for a local boatyard I decide to give Rapidpaint of Birmingham a try, (it is very local to me and cheaper to go and pick it up rather than have it delivered). There narrowboat site is www.narrowboatcolours.co.uk ! I must admit that one side of the boat is starting to look rather shiny.

Soon I will be on the move (Friday 8th August to be precise). I'm heading for the National at Autherly Junction and have offered my help for a few days before the Festival actually starts. I only hope that they don't work me too hard!

I shall also be an assistant harbourmaster on the site at the festival so if any of you visit the festival, feel free to come and chat with me. The missus makes a mean cup of tea and has been known to bake some rather lovely cakes to accompany the tea!
