Stop Press!

 Phantom Lady is off on her travels again next year....we're too young to retire to the inland waterways (and it's not warm enough!!)

WATCH THIS SPACE :)

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS......see you in the summer!

Home in a couple of weeks :)

No takers for the cat yet :(
Why, oh why do I get myself in these situations.....
I will never rescue a tiny little sick kitten again! Even if it was facing imminent death!
It's been playing on my mind all the time lately and making me feel pretty upset.
If only it wasn't for the English quarantine laws we would take her home with us.

Too true

We are sailing!

Well, motoring mostly.......

Mikes almost forgotten how to use the chart plotter haha

This morning dawned an almost cloudless sky so we decided to go for it.
We reached the giddy heights of almost 1.6 knots - well, there was only 4 knots of wind so we didn't bother putting the main up.

in honour of St. Pirans' day

Needless to say, we were soon back on the pontoon....

and Scabby couldn't wait to get back to playing with the kids!

I'm sure gonna miss ole Scabs

wash out!

The climax of the carnival - the main parade - was held last night accompanied by torrential rain. More rain than we have seen since we left the UK last summer.

The parade of floats went on for 7 hours!!

Everyone put on a brave face, despite the weather...

Unlike in the Azores there seem to be no religious connotations here - just an excuse to dress up and get absolutely rat-arsed. We thought the floats were quite disappointing actually....

Unlike the drag queens :)

In other news.... the toenail I lost recently has begun to grow back nicely.

A change in the weather

Today it's been cloudy and quite cold. Pretty miserable actually.

Seems like a long time since we did this.....

We've decided to sell the boat.
