CHERTSEY

BOATS, BRIDGES, BOILERS ... IF IT'S GOT RIVETS, I'M RIVETTED
... feminist, atheist, autistic academic and historic narrowboater ...
Likes snooker, beer, tea, rivets and solitude, and is strangely fascinated by the cinema organ.
And there might be something about railways.

Look what I've got NOW!

This is proving to be a very lucky week for acquisitions.

On returning from Kings Bromley on Saturday, Jim found on Freecycle a lightweight folding camping table - exactly what we were looking for for Chertsey - and was lucky enough to get it.


But this just about beats everything. Look what he just brought back from the local tip:

A real, proper, old tin bath. My heart's desire. And it doesn't leak either. I even reckon it should just about fit in the cabin. I have been after one of these for so long, and never thought I'd find one. And what did it cost? Only 50p more than a pint of Harveys in the Warwick Castle.*

*£3.80

    It reminds me of the old advert "Wanted, a bath for an old lady with a tin bottom" :-)
