August

Time sure does fly. We did go on holiday during August, the first for a couple of years that didn't involve working on Misterton in some way, so it was a nice break. We did venture out onto the river last weekend and went for our first overnight trip, about two miles upriver to Bell Weir Lock, conveniently located by the Runnymead hotel. We were able to sit on their terraces and watch the boats go by, and also watch other people's weddings, which is fascinating in itself.

We even managed to turn round without hitting anything, Mary took this picture to show that we were actually out on the river with other boats.

Work has been continuing, mainly by other people, specifically James the joiner who has finished and installed the kitchen units - looking good!

 I think its now down to me to finish it off, then Mary can finally cook dinner.

We spoke today 1/9/10 Simon and I've had a brief look at your interesting blog. I think I will be honoured to work on such a historic boat and look forward to seeing it and working out how best it can be done.
