Well that was an expensive weekend, we visited Paul and Maria at http://www.heartwoodnarrowboats.co.uk on Saturday and finalised the spec for Lorimar, we have agreed a price signed the contract that will protect both party's during the build and paid our deposit,
it's a waiting game now Paul will be ordering the hull and engine on Monday which should be delivered around the middle to the end of November, it's getting exciting now can't wait to see the steel work start to take shape.
Then we all agreed we should go and celebrate so off to a lovely place near by for a carvery and a drink (or 2)
Did I say 1 or 2 blimey talk about a party!!!
The pub is set next to the canal and a couple that Paul had done some of the fit out for where just mooring for the evening.
What a couple ex-publicans ( Dave and Anna ) that sold up two and a half years ago to live aboard NB Mehalaland,
and a more welcoming and chatty couple would be hard to find on the cut, so we all had a guided tour of Mehalaland after which we decided that the evening just wouldn't be the same unless Dave & Anna joined us, so off we all went on to the pub for a meal.
And am I glad that No.1 son Andrew had decided to come with us this weekend and was able to drive home for me other wise we would have been stranded in Stoke on Trent because I found it hard to walk by the time we left never mind drive.
But who could have asked for more, great company lovely food and plenty of ale.
Special thanks to Paul & Maria for the treat and I promise I'll try not to drink the place dry next time Paul, Honest!!
