Sunny Disposition

Hi Everyone.

I feel a lot better for getting things off my chest yesterday. Thanks for listening. And my normal sunny disposition has now been resumed. Today, I bring to you a picture of boats in the sunshine...

Bourne End Marina
Considerably different from this time last year, when I was sloshing about in waders, and Sumo had to deploy his mountain rescue harness. People are out buffing their boats, painting their coachlines, and generally hoping that Spring is about to be Sprung. Let's hope so. Hoovering out the bilge every time it hammers it down, is getting a bit tedious.

In other news.... Congratulations to our good friend Graham Holden (and his wife Matilda) who have just had a baby son. They've called him Toby Millican Holden. Which references Sheena's uncle Millican Dalton, who instructed people how to climb mountains (while he lived in a cave in the lake district). Thanks for that, you two. It's great to know that the name and spirit lives on.

    Welcome back to The Thames!

    Being an ex-pat Cumbrian, I was very interested in the Millican Dalton link. That name is familiar to me from the Wainwright books. How apt that you are living close to nature as well - although perhaps not as close as he did!

    Cheers

    Hi Alistair. Thanks for your comment. He had a hut in Marlow woods too. But he somehow managed to burn that down. Always a laugh and an inspiration.
