Tuesday 19 December
It's been a busy few days, dispatching orders promptly to meet the
latest posting date for Christmas, today, so no time
for photos today.
We have the luxury of two mentions today. I
woke up this morning to find we had been blogged on
Andrew Denny's
Granny Buttons blog late last night.
Then I bought a copy of Waterways World and found we
had a brief mention with their article on the
Cotswold Canals.

Saturday 9 December
The weather forecast for today was good - at
least as good as can be expected for December - so
it was off to Saul Junction.
I'd heard that Santa might be visiting Saul
Junction and I wanted to see if I could capture him
on film for next year's update to the Cotswold
Canals DVD.
As soon as I arrived I was spotted by David
Pagett from the Cotswold Canals Trust who kindly
introduce me to all the volunteers working so hard
at the Heritage Centre.
Many of them had already seen the DVD and they
were all very complimentary. Thank you
everyone.
David was such a good salesman that I had to keep
my guard up or he would have sold me one!
Perseverance, the CCT trip boat, had been
decorated with Christmas decorations and Santa had
borrowed the boat for his grotto.
He had just popped out when I took this photo but
he was making regular trips along the
canal in
Perseverance, accompanied by children of all ages.

Friday 8 December
Friday was our first chance to visit the boat
since work had started again on the build.
The boat was temporarily inside which made it
rather dark for photographing, although rather
warmer for working on the boat.
The television aerial is in place, kept on the
centre line to maximise the space available for
fitting solar panels when they come down in price.
As the price of diesel is just about to double
when red diesel is no longer available they
may be fitted sooner then we were planning.
Unfortunately the pump out point was not fitted
on the centre line of the roof and I need to take
the measurements for the solar panels on the next
visit to see if we can work around this if
we
need to get pump out point repositioned.
The inside is lined out and most of the
partitions in place so photographing is very
difficult.
A lot of the wiring and plumbing is in place with
wiring poking out of the spaces for the sockets.
This wiring will be in the electrical cupboard just
inside the stern where the inverters etc. will be
positioned.
