It's coming up to that time of year again when we have Fireworks On The Quay, organised by those grand people of W.O.R.C - the Wivenhoe Ocean Racing Club. Apart from the fact that there's no ocean, and no racing, it is a true description of a club in Wivenhoe.
W.O.R.C. raises much-needed funds for the upkeep of the Royal British Legion building, situated on the quay, near the Boat For My Potplants, and they do this by offering a spectacular firework display - set off on the opposite side of the river. Buckets are provided for spectators to donate whatever they can afford.
Those standing on the quay get a great view
Those sitting on the rear deck of the Boat For My Potplants get a truly breathtaking, first-class, super-duper, incredible view. (see the pic from last year on my blog at www.aboatformypotplants.blogspot.com)
And this year, like last year, our guests of honour will be Neil Rowland with his wife Angela. Neil is the chap who persuaded his elderly father to give me the boat in its derelict state.
So it's all his fault, and I thank him enormously.
PS If anyone from this boating community is passing by and fancies coming aboard - feel welcome - we'd better have some codewords though (don't want any riff-raff, you understand) - how about "Can I Come Aboard?" Yes, that'll do nicely.
