My "Significant Other" !
He can't play an instrument.
He's pretty useless at singing.
He's even worse at dancing!
BUT ................. he's amazingly good with his hands!!
And .......................... at last .......................... finally ........................ he has knuckled down to tackling something he has been threatening to do ever since we acquired the boat and this is the outcome:-
He has also painted one of those old-fashioned road lanterns and, as I write, he is doing a replacement Buckby Can. Remember the demise of the original? That is now rusting nicely away at the bottom of the River Avon having fought, and lost, a battle with a large willow tree.
There is no end to his practical skills!
At the end of last year we thought that we ought to succumb to getting a top box to relieve internal storage a little. So, over the Winter, said top box was designed and made in Megan's garage and is now in situ on the roof of the boat.
Resplendent with it's cover, decorative plank and fancy ropework!
