ER II Saga continues....

Time for an update. The boat seems to be all better now.
Fingers crossed.
We got the central heating fixed, ( the burner was flooded - the dumb frackers didn't design the flue properly so rain water gets in and makes it way into the burner can - I have done a John Wanamaker and fashioned a hood for the flue) and the overheating problem is remedied.
Like I said, fingers crossed.

Cheese season is winding down, the day are growing shorter and shadows are growing longer.
No frost on the pumpkin, yet. Scotland's got frost....frost on the haggis?

Like I said cheese season is slowing down, we are going to sell cheese through out the winter but not at the rate we did this year.
We have sold over 5000 cheeses this year so far.
Not too bad.

While we are in Kings Sutton, Kris and Walter are coming over for a couple of weeks.
They fly into Heathrow Sunday and then National Express it to Banbury where we will meet them and stick them in a hotel.
On Monday we will leave the Banbury area and drive up to the boat in Audlem.
Plan is to take them out for a week or more on the boat.
Once we get those two on a plane back to Canada, Helen and I are heading off to Italy for five
days.
Back to Vernazza and the Cinque Terre.

It will be a much needed break.
We are both knackered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In November we have another reno to do for Peter and Chris.
They own the Audlem Mill and have been trying for years to get their kitchen finished.
I have a feeling this winter might just fly by.

We are looking forward to exploring more of Wales. The Welsh border is about a 20 min drive from the marina. Super cool!!!

Well the selling day is drawing to a close time take down the signs and drink a pint or two.

Love to you both,
Helen and David
