A Boat For My Potplants






Welcome to my
blog. The boat has taken on a life of its own and is of course the central character in the plot. Add a dash of Wivenhoe - that most wonderful coastal Essex place that some describe as 'a small drinking village with a large fishing problem'. An extra splash of some local characters brings the recipe to the boil. I hope you enjoy the concoction - and feel welcome to join as a 'follower', post comments and suggestions.

After all, I need as many tips as I can muster, whether it be with boat renovation, nautical manouvering, radio dj-ing, or simply looking after the potplants.

Cats And Dogs Opportunity

Finally I had a little time to spend some time on my Boat For My Potplants yesterday afternoon, and the geraniums were looking a bit sad. It's that time of the year again to be thinking about the winter pansies, so off I went to Deans Nurseries to get a load.

Not only that, the boat also needed a good old tidy up inside, and a clean on the outside. So, by the time I got round to doing the gardening, it was already dusk, and I may have looked a little eccentric going about my business in the dark infront of some pub-goers. Never mind, eh?

But when I popped down there this morning to admire my handywork, I couldn't help noticing how dirty the canopy was looking.

It was raining cats and dogs, and I saw that as a perfect opportunity to get the Fairy Liquid out and give it a good old scrubbing, hoping that the rain would do the rinsing off for me. I may be a little eccentric, but I'm not completely daft, you know.

  3. Even with a relatively smaller home, we can’t be freed from cleaning and household tasks, eh? ;P But from a more positive perspective, it’s actually encouraging. This way, you are not really different from normal house dwellers. In fact, you are privileged in your own right. You get to be home wherever you are! :D
