It was on the good ship Venus

Spent several hours cutting the grass today, it hadn’t been done since Hendstock so it was rather long. The poor old mower needed a little fettling as well.

Then I took the good ship Venus on her maiden voyage, unfortunately the river is still very low so I could only get up to the poo stick bridge upstream and Springfield house downstream. This thwarted my ambitions of stopping at Bill and then Darren’s for a drinks. Still the boat is great, fast and turns in a nine pence ( which is a very odd expression).
