Make-do awning

You may have guessed from our last posts that it has been raining. A LOT. But that does not seem to stop us. Here we are, moored up at the bottom of the garden of the owner of Kingfisher Marina, Yardley Gobion, Milton Keynes. We booked ahead, needing to keep Bella and Josie in a safe place while we took a hire car to a meeting with our dear GKG Collective in Oxford (at our new office!!!). It was raining when we arrived on the Wednesday, raining when we got back from Oxford on the Thursday. But we have means!! Here is Pete, hanging out the duck doors (hatch), with our Land Rover umbrella anchored so that it turned into an awning. Brilliant.

We love this silly irony. A Land Rover umbrella on a boat painted racing green - travelling at max 4 miles an hour. Giggle.
