ALL MOVED IN!

Well this weekend gave us some beautiful weather and the perfect opportunity to move all the rest of our belongings from our old boat onto Lily.  You would think that fitting the contents of a 23ft boat onto a 48ft boat would be easy but apparently it's not!  Until Lily's permanent bed is built, we will be missing a 4ft by 6ft by 2ft storage locker which means that there is still a lot of stuff lurking with no where to put it . . . fun!  This means that the space where the bed will be has become the dumping ground but on the plus side, the front of the boat looks totally like home, happy days!

A SMART NEW HATCH

This weekend saw the fitting of Lily's smart new hatch cover over the stern doors.  It's a massive improvement on the mouldy and rotten one that was there before.  So, no more tarps hanging over the roof and a huge thank you to our lovely Son for making it for us!!!

We have, once again, gone from this:

MOVING HOUSE

Massive changes this weekend.  After spending a gruelling few days finishing off varnishing the walls and ceilings, we were blessed with some beautiful weather which allowed us to finally transfer most of the contents of our dear little 23 foot narrowboat Tadpole, onto Lily.  So for the first time, we were able to spend the night on our new boat and we felt totally at home!
