Blue Haven for Easter

We had a lovely Easter and were delighted to be in Blue Haven - it meant we could get to Coventry for Easter at the Cathedral. It was stunning, theatrical and held all the drama of the festival. Wonderful. We spent the Bank Holiday doing DIY things like Pete making a tray to fit over the cruising rail to take mugs etc while someone is at the helm and Elizabeth cleaning and refitting her dressing table tray. So, all in all, the kind of weekend spent by most in the UK! What we did not do was take Bella out. There were SO many boats, mostly driven by those who only have weekends like this to use their boats. So we left the open cut to them and enjoyed being in our space.

And during last week, we had a plea from some old and loved clients of ours to do some major pieces of work. As we like them so much, we've had to say yes; but, this will curtail our plans for a long long spell away from Blue Haven this summer. You'll have to watch this space to follow the odd set of days out here or long weekends out there. But we're looking forward to both the work and to the excursions. The major reason we chose this life is to have the choice to what what felt right and good at the time. So here we are!
