We have had a short trip down the Ashby Canal before we had to return to Essex.

Pandemic, Technical Issues, Funerals have delayed the first cruise this year but we have managed to get away.

 Hilary was given a voucher for her birthday towards a meal at a local restaurant and by chance we chose to have the meal last Sunday which was the right choice as the virus has shut all pubs and restaurants.

 Last Saturday we had Maisie and Poppy stay and had a baking day making buns, bread and bread and butter pudding

 On March 3rd it would have been mums birthday and The Maisibert would be 12 years old so a trip to Chelmsford Crematorium before heading to the boat for six days.
I went to the boat to upgrade the central heating by installing three radiators with the help of Craig on the Saturday and Sunday.

The last few weeks have been spent working on the boat and catching up with friends and family.
On our way to the boat we popped into Harlow to put flowers in memory of Hilary's brother and mum.
Last weekend we had our annual visit to see Sue and Dave which as usual a wet and windy weekend.

We have just had a week getting the boat back into order after being re painted and preparing her for the summer trip.
Sunday Hilary gave Craig some cooking lessons now he has moved into his flat.

 Today we celebrated Denzil's 50th Birthday he stayed in my house before moving to Canada.
He returned from Canada to celebrate his birthday with family and friends.

 My Impulsive purchase.

 The last few months we have been getting The Maisibert back normality but this weekend we stayed with Dianne and Peter to attend a First Aid Course.
We also took a trip to the New Forest to see the oldest tree in the forest and look at what Poole Harbour had to offer.

 The Maisibert is now completed and back on the moorings.

 Kevin has started the installation of the Lithium Battery and new charging system.
