MONDAY 28TH MAY TO SATURDAY 2ND
JUNE 2012
An East Coast train
brought Jacquie back from Selby, on Monday, loaded down with lots of Ringtons, triple
chocolate chip and ginger biscuits, from naughty Sylvia, and we settled down to
a comfortable week at Kings Marina. Our new folding chairs proved themselves extremely
comfortable, both for sunbathing and snoozing in the amazing warmth of the
early part of the week, but are now packed away following the damper and colder
weather.
Ann and Brian visited us
a couple of times, bringing with them red, white and blue bunting and a Union
Flag, which SKYY is now adorned with in readiness for the Jubilee Celebrations,
but I did ensure that the flag was flown the right way up, broad white diagonal
stripe at the top nearest the pole, as I noticed that two large ones on other
boats were flown upside down, which apparently is a sign of a ship in distress,
A brave heron took up
station on the end of the next pontoon seemingly unperturbed by the close
proximity of man and dog before strutting away up the main decking, whilst a
GoodYear air ship buzzed the marina.
We are looking forward
to watching the Thames Pageant on TV on Sunday, sadly the weather forecast is
not promising, but keeping fingers crossed, also sadly the timing clashes with
The Newark Street Carnival, but we would rather watch the Pageant.
