Not a lot happening today a nice easy day. I have cleaned my brasses even took the brass vents off the doors welding a screw driver all on my own with no help or comments from Paul. These vents were pretty disgusting so I had to use a fine wire wool on them but I am pleased to say they have cleaned up nicely. When I put them back on the doors I made sure that all the screw slots were facing the same way as I didn't want any wise cracks from himself. Bell on the front is shiny too won't pass comment on what Paul has been doing but suffice to say it had to do with the TV and MOTOGP. I think its GP next week hopefully not an early starter.
Paul here on the site has told us it is going to rain tomorrow and Tuesday, so it looks like I am going to get wet doing the Hatton locks at least I will stay cool.

About Me
- nb piston broke
- After years of working,Paul and I retired early. I worked in accounts departments and Paul spent 39 years as an Electrical Mechanical engineer in the industrial refrigeration industry. Paul also served time as a refrigeration engineer officer with P&O, to-ing and fro-ing to NZ. In 2001 we decided to move to Spain where we bought an old Spanish finca that needed total renovation. We took our 1500 Goldwing with us to Spain planning to explore the country. But because of the amount of work that needed doing to the finca we were unable to get full use of our lovely motorbike. So it was shipped back to England where it was sold. It took us 3 1/2 years to finish the house, by which time Paul was hankering after another bike so we bought a new Honda VTX 1300 cruiser which was a pleasure to use with our biker friends. In 2007 the writing was on the wall so we decided to return to the UK and bought our lovely narrowboat which was a big step for me as I had never dreamt of living on a narrowboat. Paul has had sailing boats in the past and regulary crewed on a Medway Bawley Gaffer and raced in many local events. We are continuous cruisers planning to explore as much as we can.
