So new location for a post to be written. At the moment I’m sat in my wheelchair, in the cockpit of a catamaran in Plymouth yacht haven. The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, I can hear the soft rippling of the waves on the side of the boat and of course seagulls. Bloody seagulls, they’re everywhere and are bloody noisy, if you can’t see them you will probably still hear them.

So the boat is a pain in the backside to get on and off so I ain’t doing it that often unless I really need to. It aggravates pain and fatigue, not much fun when you’re on your holidays. It’s only the first day so the shore party (mum and dad) have gone shopping to stock up with some food. I think my mum is inadvertently, whether she knows it or not, become the quartermaster. So she’s sorting out food and where it’s going to be stored. I have no idea what I’ll end up doing, that’s if I end up doing anything. It’s pants not being able to help out with stuff.

I’ve brought a couple of knitting and crochet project with me to do. I’ve started the first project and it’s a teabag hat for a baby. It’s bright neon orange/pink. It will look cool when it’s done. I’ve got other things to do as well so will be flirting back and forth between projects. Knitting wise I did two baby hats last week, only got a picture of one though.

I’m quite impressed really considering I just made it up as I went along.

There is a guy on another boat that’s close by that keeps throwing buckets of water over the side of his boat. Every time he does it it makes me jump and spin round to check no one has fallen in,

Anyway, plans for the journey are wherever the wind takes us. I think it’s round the counter and up a river tonight, then on to salcomb (I won’t be able to get off the boat there, and then onto gurnsey and if we’re luck onto France. It will be relaxing wherever we go so it doesn’t really matter, well it shouldn’t but someone that’s with us doesn’t know the meaning of quiet. Anyway here are some pictures of my home for the next 2 weeks. I grew up spending holidays on this boat, I love her, here’s Fritha:

The shore party have now returned but said the weather isn’t to good so we’re staying put. But as I said it doesn’t matter , we aren’t at home with all the normal stresses and strains, we just have new one lol.

Hope you’re all having fun, love and light.
