Boat Safety Check

Boat safety done yesterday and failed but nothing major.

1.  The main thing was the fire extinguishers which have not been checked
since 2006. These have all been replaced. 3 x 1kg dry powder.

2. A new gas regulator and hose required and replaced.

3. Label needed moving - done.
All Thanks to Jane and John at www.northkilworthwharf.com/

North Kilworth Wharf

A little trip to Kilworth wharf to see Jane and John. The boat safety check is coming up soon. there are some jobs that need attending in order to pass I believe.
A cold damp day on the trip but I still had a grin on my face to be boating again.

Emails by Grannybuttons

A.Denny asked why do people disguise their Email addresses on contact pages. I guess from the responses that although boaters and others like to socialise with others, all of us are wary of Hackers and other parasite low life  types. Wouldn't it be lovely if everyone was thoughtful and helped the world to become a beautiful and productive place to enjoy liveing?

Weddings and Meadowhell

A day out on the train to Sheffield to visit Meadowhell or is that Meadowhall shopping centre?  There was no opt out option for this. Our daughter is getting married and insists her parents look less like relaxed scruffs.
the result was her mother now looks very happy with new outfits, even though I allowed her to buy something a year or three ago. I, too, have a new suit etc.
