A little bit of "Post Restante".
Off we went to the post office this morning to collect the mail.
The post office run a service called "Post Restante", whereby you can have your mail sent to you via a local post office. You do have to check with them first to make sure it is ok but if they do, it is free (apart from the stamp of course). Very handy and it seems to work.
This was the result of our trip, the best part of seven hundred pounds worth of deep joy!!
On the return journey we witnessed this narrow boat being introduced to the wet stuff.
I have seen a lot of boats been lifted by crane before, and I am very glad that this was not mine.
I wont bore you, but a quick glance and you can see that the strops are too far forward, they are too close together and there are no spreader bars to stop the hull being pinched. No stetsons or boots were on view though.
Until next time.............................

Have you checked the web address on the back of the licence, They had got it wrong on the back of ours, but that expires Dec 2010
Oh that looks a bit of a scary crane lift. Our boat was dropped into the water by the nice people at Hilperton and thankfully they were so very careful.
