While I'm writing this I'm sitting in the office looking out of my window — it's a lovely view, looking right down the marina — I chose this view before the building was built — I hopped onto the concrete foundation slab with a can of red spray paint and marked out where I wanted my...

Well the school holidays are now well and truly underway, and I'm juggling my time between home and the marina. When I'm at work I feel guilty I'm not at home and when I'm at home I feel guilty I'm not at work — and the reality is that no one really minds where I am — I really...

Pedalling around

01/05/2017

Well, the Easter eggs are all gone — after a frantic chocolate eating frenzy, we're all feeling a bit heavier. Fortunately, the nights are lighter and I've started walking again and getting out more on the horses and my bike. Speaking of which, foolishly, some time ago I volunteered to...

The strangest month!

01/04/2017

It's been a funny month — it kicked off with a stolen boat story. We had a poster from an insurance company about some stolen boats — as it's quite an unusual occurrence (well you can't exactly do a quick getaway!) you can imagine the interest it caused. We were even more surprised to...

You missed one!

What a month January was! Angus, Dave and I were invited down to the London Boat Show to the Marina of the Year awards and not only did we win, but we were the first inland marina to be awarded the very prestigious Marina of Distinction Award! To win it you have to be winner or runner up of Marina...

Happy New year! I can't believe another year has passed so quickly. It's certainly been a busy one at the marina and for our family in general. There have been some sad times with the loss of Christine Woolford, a lovely lady who always gave me a hug. But also some positives — I've...

What a month it's been — with the cruising season well and truly over the office usually goes a bit quieter but this month has been hectic. We've had some lovely days at the start of the month but just lately it's been really rather wet. Angus was actually quite chuffed to find the...

Moorhen and grebes

01/11/2016

Well what a fabulous October we've had — the last time I remember an October as mild as this was when we were building the marina. It was so dry that the engineers were complaining that they were having to wet the clay. Sadly it didn't last, and we ended up with one of the wettest...

And breathe!! — the kids have gone back to school. The work-life-school run balance is looking good AND the weather has been lovely!! To top it all we've been looking after my sister-in-laws dog, a beautiful red lab called Oscar. He's impeccably behaved and has been walking to the marina...

What a month it's been — summer time is always hectic at Overwater but for me personally the clash of school holidays and work can be just a bit tricky. I've manged to alleviate it to a degree by fixing daughter No. 1 up with work experience on a local dressage and livery yard and daughter...

If you ever feel sorry for the odd one out, then spare a thought for our feathered friends — by that I mean our little white duck. We were so excited in the spring to welcome the first few batches of the ducklings, all cute and fluffy. At the time I thought my eyes were deceiving me — but when I...

I've just come to realise that I clearly don't have a creative bone in my body — I'm definitely functional. We've been messing about with an area of garden by the marina reception pretty much since we moved in to the building and have never got it right. It started off as a...
