kpnut Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 And mum’s corner since her death in the autumn and me putting done flowers in the water there with a glorious sunset to accompany them downstream. So you’ll have to share it Griff. (But it’s always Griff’s corner in my write-ups)😊 Last time I passed it, someone had been strimming the bank so plenty of room for us all!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Up with no alarm at 0700. Walk Purdey dog. Couldn’t be bothered with a FCE so just bacon, egg n toast. Weird - tv pixelating with booster on or off, disconnected coax and perfect reception I’ll be underway by 0830. It’s a grey morning, mild with not a breath of wind Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also enjoyed the experience of having her onboard. With around 30 miles of dog walks over the days she was onboard a certain vicar found it difficult to get get up to tend her flock this morning. However, I was the one who did the 06.30 walks and it was freezing. Downside being is that I am receiving strong hints that a dog is now an essential requirement of the boat and the vicarage. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Crewed up this morning at 0530 just me n Purdey dog. Which was no mean feat considering I got out of bed yesterday morning at 0730 in Lanzarote. Got home at 0200 this morning Sailed at 0630 bound for Horning to meet up with a mate and his family on two hire craft to celebrate his 63rd birthday. This event should have been his 60th in 2020 but covid and other issues delayed it somewhat. No MrsG with me due to work commitments. This mate is Dolly or Dave, an original owner of ‘B.A’ until Robin took over his share Due home Monday evening Cracking morning to be afloat and underway, aren’t they all?

I worry (always at night when the worries all seem to get exaggerated) more about mine than I did about the kids. But, like the kids, we wouldn’t be without them.
