Of boats, boys and bonfires

The good thing about living close to a showground is that you can, at short notice, decide to visit an event held there. And so today we found ourselves at the Boat Jumble. And very interesting it was too. It started out with a walk with Zaf and ended up with a nose around the varied stalls at the Boat fair.

We were a tad naughty and didn't come home empty handed. In fact it felt rather a long trip back carrying these heavy items that took our fancy!

These two corner lanterns on shelves caught our eyes. They were from a trawler, and are marked 'Port' and 'Starboard'. They need a little attention to make them glow again, but it shouldn't be a big job.

And everybody needs a bright red Fire bucket, don't they?

 Of course, a pair of oars always come in handy when one heads off for Henley!

A lovely wooden pulley, not sure what that's for yet, but Steve has plans I know!

We decided that it was a good afternoon to get out in the garden for a few hours to clear away, ready for spring growth.

Meanwhile BB joined us for some fresh air, and found a stick to whittle!

And at the end the afternoon a little bonfire which is an activity my boys (big and small) do love...

Hope you all have a lovely week
