Well somehow it is November, I’m sure I must have gone into hibernation or something because I just don’t know where the time has gone.

Everything is progressing with the fit out and looking really amazing. The saloon and the galley are done apart from the side door linings, the main front door (Paul has purchased a big chunk of Oak for these) and the galley worktop (Paul is still using it as a worktop). More wood was purchased for the trims and cupboards and Paul is saying we still need more.

The bathroom is nearly there, the shower is all sorted and the toilet is in position. The two towel radiators are also fitted. Paul has now started making the wardrobes, which form one of the walls in the bathroom. The long tube we started with has now got rooms - it is an amazing transformation.

We have purchased a mattress for the bed which we are currently testing on our bed in the house, I have told Paul that when it gets put on the boat he is not allowed any linen as knowing him he will start sleeping on the boat and I will never get to see him. The settee from Elite Furnishings is now ready and we are due to pick this up early December, we still haven’t decided on curtains and carpets yet so perhaps once this arrives I will be able to get Paul to the shops (not his favourite thing) to help choose.

In my last update I was hoping to have news on when we will be afloat, well we don’t have any definite dates but we are keeping our fingers crossed for late March early April.
