Well, not actually broken but in need of attention. As you will have noticed we haven't moved since Friday. The cylinder head is with the boatyard being sorted.
We had a lovely day on Saturday with Mandy, Tony and the kids. The weather was kind and we enjoyed a picnic lunch. Had a slight crisis in the afternoon when Mikey dropped his favourite toy into the canal and, of course, it didn't float. Luckily, Tesco's sell it so Ray and Tony took him to get another. Then we had another minor crisis because Dani was feeling put out because she hadn't got anything. I rescued that with one of my pieces of jewellery, which we told her "grandma had made specially for her". Actually it was one of my experimental pieces which I liked but wasn't 100% happy with, so wasn't likely to wear myself.
Since Sunday we have been doing bits and pieces to the boat. We have been rubbing down paintwork, rust treating and undercoating. Yesterday Colin from NB Intrepid, who is moored across the canal gave us some oak flooring that they had spare and we are using it to line and floor the cratch. that's the great thing about boaters, nothing gets wasted.
We are still waiting to hear when our cylinder head might be ready so we don't know when we will move on from here.
