A Meeting With My Old Boss

We rendezvouzed with my old boss, Leigh and another workmate, Rocky at Sandon yesterday afternoon.  We first had a couple of drinks on the boat plus showed them a glimpse of our boaty lifestyle ...



The boss bought Elaine some nice plants ...



We then adjourned to The Dog and Doublet where we had a superb dinner and a few more drinks.  It was good to catch up with the guys and have a chat about work and how it was all going, which apparently is very well ... it is a fantastic business with virtually no opposition in Australia ...



We had a lovely cruise back to the marina in very chilly conditions this morning ...



The goose feathered jacket is now de riguer ...



The sheep were going walkabout ...



Nice belt on the cow ...



The doggies enjoyed themselves with a playfight ...



We made it back to the marina in time for Elaine to make up some nibbles for the boaters afternoon tea.
We had a very good turnout of 17 people, newcomers including the return of Elly and Mick (NB Parisien Star), Roly (NB Klara), Dot and Gordon (NB Ewn ha Cul), Rob (NB Name escapes me) and a Canadian guest, Barbara who is staying aboard NB Phyllis May II ...



When we got back to the boat we gave Barbara from Canada a grand tour of the good ship.  They are thinking of buying a narrowboat some time next year.


Tomorrow we are up at 5.00am to go to Manchester for the day ... Diane from NB Ferndale is kindly looking after the doggies for us - thanks, Di!
