Crikey! The Boat For My Potplants seems to have grown, now that it's been pulled out of the river.
Crikey! There was a ton of crud and barnacles on the bottom.
Crikey! My arm doesn't 'alf ache, after hours of scraping.
Crikey! Brushing paint-stripper is hazardous to one's health.
Crikey! Splashes of paint-stripper don't bode well on the skin!
Crikey! I look like I've been in the ring with Mike Tyson!
Crikey! What have I let myself in for?!!!
Welcome to my blog about an old boat that used to cruise the Norfolk Broads in the '70's. I was given it to renovate and bring to Wivenhoe in the early noughties, and since then it's morphed into a few guises: a pirate radio station, a home to a gorilla, an open garden, a Writer's Retreat, a party venue, a vinyl haven, and even a golf course. Most importantly it's always been a peaceful sanctuary for a few pansies and other flowers. Welcome to my Boat For My Potplants...
Well i have to say it looks quite impressive from the side - still a heap, but an impressive heap....!

what a relief ~ it'll be ages until you need the curtains made up Neil! She looks a fine old lady (and we old gals have to stick together) rest assured though, she'll look like her old self once a bit of 'slap' is applied.
