One week left....

Today marks a very important date - I am now exactly one week away from the start of the new school year. Although much of this next week is planned to be spent in school anyway, it is my last vestige of freedom!

I was alerted over the weekend to a new canal blog. 'Thompsons on tour' is, in my opinion, an excellent website which includes a blog and charts the travels around the system of some neighbours of mine, Clive and sarah who are still relatively new to the boating lark. The blog is an excellent read and well worth looking at.

Nothing much to report on the personal front! Spent the weekend getting sorted and back into routine both on board and in the marina. We are planning another open day for Saturday 13th September so anyone interested is welcome to attend. This is more 'brand awareness' as I have to say, the marina is fast approaching the limited spaces point but anyone looking for a mooring may still get lucky with us. Not an uncommon story is the friend of mine who turned up over the weekend simply to visit, fell in love with the place and left having signed up to come in! In the evening of that date, we are holding our annual 'end of season' barbecue. Interested boaters and friends are welcome to attend, (musicians especially as we hope to have a live jaming session!)
