Jane (aka 'Erindoors) inspects my handiwork and is pleased with the way things are coming on with the new interior. It's the shag-pile carpet that sets it off nicely, and she doesn't even mind my plastic flower arrangement or my hanging hi-fi loudspeakers. What a girl!

(You can see the pic on my blog www.aboatformypotplants.blogspot.com )

Recently, the Regatta came to Wivenhoe.

A constant stream of visitors on board, many bottles of wine later and a right party atmosphere made the day one of the best in the history of The Boat For My Potplants. We managed a record ten people all on board at the same time, perched on the rear deck observing the proceedings of other boats maneuvering up and down the river. I wished I were one of them.

By this time next year, when it's finally got an outboard motor, and the renovation is complete, the Boat For My Potplants will be joining in. I'll make sure of it.

The cooking stove was a bargain from Tesco - only £14.99, with the canisters at about £2.50 each.

£9.99 from Go Outdoors with discount card - however both will be marked 'For Outdoor use only' - not acceptable for BSS in our area!
