Lovely sunny day at Speke Hall

What a beautiful day it was today. Took the girls ( Millie & Maizee ) our Jack Russels to Speke hall Grounds today for a good runabout.

Also called for a couple more boxes from storage, picked Kals bike up from its service and then headed back to the comfort of our boat.

My eldest Jonathan and his partner are having the garage converted ready for their new arrival and Matthew had a haircut!

Hope you like the picture, the sun was in the wrong place and I have had to zoom in and screenshot it from my phone but better than nothing.....

Sad News

We have just returned from seeing our good friend who came home from hospital on Friday. She went back for results today but it was worse than expected. Best scenario 12months, worst 1month, average 7/8 months....

She has decided to stay on the boat as that is home, she is being very positive and having a cry too.
I feel so sad, every now and then something puts your own life into perspective and here again we are reminded why were doing what were doing....

Wish we were nearer, normally we would be with them but due to the new boat we have been apart and now with the widebeam we can't get near..........

Sad day.......

Dock death

Sadly a gentleman fell into the queens dock yesterday and his friend tried to rescue him but couldn't...that's 3 people falling in in 3weeks and all in the day!

We're official.....

Well we now have our craft number for MillieMaize...we also have some strange mosey interfering neighbours....never had a boat before but have already reported us to Wigan! For gods sake, it's a brand new boat....today we see them with pen and paper in hand writing the number down....I think they should get rid of their boat ASAP, obviousley not right for our world....

Relaxing...

Well Tim's reading Paul Burrell's book and I am messing n the iPad. Havn't relaxed like this or ages....Kal went to his friends last night and we had a rare night alone.
There was more noise than usual around the dock area but we have since learned that there was a boxing match on at the Echo Arena so lots of male tester one hanging about.
We don't have any electricity at the minute as some idiot dropped their angle grinder in the water! Should they be even doing work in the dock....came down from the marina then went back leaving the whole area in darkness.....
Well no idea what the day will bring but I am sure we will enjoy....

Lovely view tonight

A little noisier than usual in the dock but just as wonderful....

Still in the Dock...

Well, still awaiting a number so we can book passage out of the dock. Spoke to Ian and Anthea on Lothian and they are up for a boozy night next weekend if we're still in...
Everything's coming together now and it's feeling like home and our friend has come out of hospital and is on her boat until treatment is decided.
Hope you like the pictures.....
