After a very quiet and restful Christmas at Mum’s in Northampton, we made a quick trip up to Pillings Lock Marina to check up on the boat, and to meet Neil from Beacon to discuss the changes to the dinette. There was still a lot of ice in the marina, and sight of the ducks standing on top of the ‘water’ made me chuckle. The boat was fine – we turned everything on again, and checked that water flowed out of the taps, and not all over the floor! It was freezing inside, so while we waited for Neil to arrive, we lit the stove and turned on the Webasto then decamped to the cafe for a warming latte. Neil arrived just as we were settling down in the warm, so joined us for a cuppa, after which we returned to the boat, which was much warmer by then. After much discussion and measuring up, Neil left and we closed up the boat again, and returned to Mum’s. We will need to go back next week to clear a bit of stuff out of the saloon to make room for Neil to work, and to move the boat to a pontoon nearer to the car park so he doesn’t have too far to carry stuff when he’s working.
We hope you all have a happy and safe New Year.
