To Atherstone

Saw this horse on the private online moorings at Coventry junction, not sure if it was dead or not.

To Coventry

woke up to a angry looking day today but thought we would make an effort until it got worse.

Wyken arm

Now that's what i call a solar array, 11 or 12 panels from front to back, no room to walk on his roof tho.

Whoops             That was a biggun i nearly got the chainsaw out but CRT were on the bank haha


















And then this happened which ended the day and made us moor up, just before Coventry junction.
shame because i wanted to go on but hey ho..........................

Project weekend

Seeing as we have stopped to spend a few days in a very nice and secluded location we decided to do a few projects that needed doing.

Re-potted the garlic and put the spring onions and radish outside.

 Re-potted the strawberries into this handy  plant holder, 2 holders takes 3 plants each and they are stackable.



















Fitted the new satellite dish onto the aerial pole although this is only a temporary site for it.




                          New half door fitted to bedroom/living room.















Made a balsa model of our boat from a kit.

Dog's playing, it's mine no it's not it's mine.
