First view of Tilly May in her new livery

 Right about now TM will be gracefully slipping back into the Trent and Mersey. Paint job and art work all finished and ready for a clean. Unfortunately the shine on the paint job made it impossible to photograph the art work in dry dock without a refection. 

The paint job is a cream roof with teal blue sides highlighted with dark blue and cream.

We are over the moon with the art work done by Norton Signs. John has spent over 2 days on the various bits that he and Jan agreed. In addition to the name John has painted a small May blossom designed on each side of the boat front and back. Darren warned me that allowing John and Jan together may well result in a hefty sign writing bill, he was so right.

The final touch was the diamonds on the bow. The last few bits and bobs will be sorted on Monday and we will be ready to sail. We have a list of folk who want a tip out on TM so I think we will be operating a few day trips weather permitting.
