old times



This weekend we had another full day working on the boat. It was just like old times. Mess everywhere you turn or tread, power shut off and doors wide open while Woz was going in and out the boat (thankfully it was a sunny day).



The end result was worth it though. We did lots of finishing off bits and pieces jobs but the biggest difference is that we decided to move our meals table and fix it against the wall which is now a meals bench. It has opened the boat up incredibly and Nate now has loads of room to roll around and play. His high chair is perched at the very end of the bench where he can look up at me in the kitchen or back on the living area. Apart from Nate getting more playing room it has absolutely saved my sanity as I was really beginning to get cabin fever living here day in and day out. You only had to have one load of washing hanging and you felt like you were living in a shoebox - some would argue we are! Anyway, by our standards it's absolutely huge now!

The boat looks great. Love the changes. If only I could pop in for a visit then it would be perfect(in my eyes anyway - don't believe what they tell you about mothers-in-law Woz - they are wonderful people)
I was admiring the yellow roses growing in our garden this morning, Em and thought of you. Apparently winter in England is no obstacle to a beautiful bunch of roses either - and it's not even Valentines Day yet.

On the topic - I do believe that it was only a week or so ago that Tracey and I were admiring a lovely bush of yellow roses outside the Lodge & indeed your name came up Em. And I think, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a single tear roll down Tracey's cheek as we remembered the 'good old days'. Sigh. I think she really misses you.
