So here we are in England. First things first, we did lots of visiting in the first few weeks. Sadly the only photo either of us thought to take is of this Scottish village my friends have moved to. Duncan has been to Cornwall twice, visiting his parents, siblings and working on his beloved wooden sailboat 'Starshell'. Whilst I was in Scarborough visiting my mum there was a surfing competition, a marine festival and a jet ski race where they did very noisy big laps around the bay, view-able from my mums front room window for a very long time... but no photos. Sorry.
So where in the world are we when the dust settles? Back on our Narrowboat just outside of Bath.
We're here to work but not just for money, we also really need to try to get our boat fitted out. Seth on our second day back; more chaos than ever and lots of really big spiders!
So work starts with building a work bench...
Setting it up in a shady spot, and getting cracking...
The key is to try not to get too sidetracked by the fun that goes on here, such as pig moving day...
It took ten of us to guide the pig down a chicane of pallets and on to the trailer. She was going to a better place but not the kind that she feared; to a new pasture down by the stream where she can wallow to her heart's content and root around new ground.
and our big procrastinator... Our patch of garden.
All in all we're having a splendid time here. Duncan is off delivering boats/ instructing, so far I have not been to work since they deleted me off the database. I've reapplied but am in no hurry to rush them since I know there is plenty of work once it is sorted out. For now I just want to dig the garden and feed the pigs, ducks and chickens. And ermm... work on the boat...
