That's all folks!!!!!!!!!

Some of you may have heard that Piston Broke has been sold and tomorrow (Wednesday) is moving day. We have been busy packing and now the boat has a bit of a list. It will be a very sad day for us after 6 very happy years and as I am sure you can imagine Paul is dreading leaving his “baby”.

We would like to give  a big thank you to all our followers including those in Australia, Hungary, New Zealand and the USA. We will miss all of the good friends and acquaintances we have made over the years and we know we will never be part of such a community again.

Therefore this blog has now come to an end so its a big goodbye from me and a bigger goodbye from him……

 

THE END…………….

regards to you all Lynne and Paul

You dont see that very often.....

And that is me running!!!!! I had popped off the boat to walk the dogs saying a quick hello to nb Belmont who enquired as they went by why we were selling up. As I walked along I could hear this crackling noise and when I looked the hedgerow was on FIRE caused by a boater emptying their hot ashes this morning. Well you have never seen me move so fast okay it wasn't that fast but pretty swift for me. Two passing boats looked at me as if I was demented they obviously hadn't seen what I had seen. Back on the boat I'm shouting for Paul explaining what was going on so.... bucket in hand off we trot a few buckets of water later and every thing was out phew it was lucky I saw the flames. As we walked slowly back to the boat Paul in formed me "he was knackered" all he had done was a brisk walk I had RUN so I had more of an excuse to be knackered than he did. Was any sympathy fore coming what do you think..........

That's better!!!!!

At last the sun has come out the painting has now been completed over the past couple of days. So now Piston Broke is nice and smart until we hit the armco or scrape through a lock that is……

We saw the crew of nb Ellen on their way to Liverpool and we have also shouted a hello to Tom and Jan as they went past. Must admit I have been sitting on the tow path watching Paul while he painted, I did make the odd cup of tea or pour the occasional glass of beer for him needed to keep his strength up.

So we will be spending the rest of the weekend chilling, hope to be meeting up with Betty and Graham plus granddaughter Lucy  soon as a lunch time visit to Weatherspoons is on the cards. Then who knows!!!!!!

Sunshine has bought every one out and even in this economic climate the hire fleets seem to be doing good business.

What will Paul do with himself now that the painting is done? Well I can assure you there are still a few things on “the list” I just have to tell him.
