Today it the start of my second childhood

You may have noticed this post is timed at 5:17am. Why!
That would be the big kid in me surfacing after years of repression. Today we go to Tamworth to spend a few hours with Dave and Elaine, the almost ex owners of Tilly May. They have kindly offered to show us how all the bits and bobs work and to take us out for an hours or so to get used to the boat.
The plan for the next few days is to take over Tilly May on Monday (giving Dave and Elaine time to move off). I have next week off so will pop down to Tamworth and get her kitted out for the trip back to Shardlow and just spend some chill time with her. On Friday Jan will joint me and we will bring her back over the bank holiday weekend. Amusing we do not sink her, back to work until 12th Sept then 2 weeks cruising around the Leicester ring. By the time we are back in Shardlow Jan will have either fallen in love with the way of life or drowned me in the cut.
