It's all 'appnin' down in Wivenhoe on board my Boat For My Potplants...
Essex Life magazine has featured one of our blogs in its pages of this month's issue (July 2011). (see www.aboatformypotplants.blogspot.com to see the article)
...The interior of the boat has had a paint-job and it's now bright and shiney...the shag-pile has been laid...the hi-fi rocks...and the leccie lights are up and running.
...And not only that - 'Erindoors went and made a complete set of curtains, so it's just a matter of time until we can check out the on-board overnight facilities - I can't wait for that!
...And top geezer Mike has been servicing my old Johnson (4 hp outboard) whilst we've been on our hols. He informs me that it's now working just fine. We may even fix it on this weekend and see what 'appens when we start it up.
...And of course there's the Wivenhoe 'Front-Of-House' competition coming up in search of the best horticultural display. We thought it rude of us not to take part in the spirit of things, so I asked the organisers if we could enter the boat and they said "why not". It's out with the winter-pansies, and in with the summer geraniums, a good old brush of the astro-turf and we're ready for the judging this coming weekend.
It certainly is all happening down at Wivenhoe quay on the Boat For My Potplants.
This is brill!! Any chance of some pics of the front garden boat entry? Can you imagine the uproar if the boat wins? There will be some seriously hacked off gardeners! Good luck. Ken
