Easter

For once in the UK we had glorious weather on all four days of Easter.  We visited my mum and dad on one day and I also did some boat work on one of the others. On the Sunday, we took Misterton out for a little trip. The river was quite busy and at the lock we decided that it was probably not a good idea to try and squeeze in behind all the fibreglass boats, so we waited patiently.

I'd got a new steering wheel for Misterton from  a guy called Mike in Lowestoft - the internet is a wonderful thing. It took a bit of fiddling to fit, including moving the gearlever, but its better to use than our original one.

another good idea was to drop the entire front window assembly. At some stage I think we'll install opening windows, but this is a good way to stop us overheating for now. Reminds me of a friends old Landrover when we were at school with the windscreen dropped.

 We found a mooring just past the park which was good for boat/people spotting. We had a few chats with passersby.

And what did we do with Nate for critical manoeuvres such as locking and mooring? I found an old storage box made a safe 'bed' for the duration.
