Very late!!

Sorry about how late todays post is, I was working until late this evening and by the time I got home, had a shower and my supper it was getting on a bit.
What a vile and disgusting day it has been, sorry no photos,it has just been to foul to venture out to take any pictures, i did have to go out to help dock 'an old girl' (not my mom) sorry mom xx, To be exact it was Empress, now i will take some photos of that tomorrow as she is a very old ex FMC steamer, in fact she is reputed to be oldest surviving purpose built motor narrow boat in the country and she has a lovely underwater shape, so some photos tomorrow of her 1887 iron hull.

Talking about tomorrow, i will see you then.
