To win it you have to be winner or runner up of Marina of
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 been
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 first

It's been a very Royal Month! A month or two ago a very thick cream envelope embossed with the Royal Crest dropped through our letter box inviting Angus and I to one of Her Majesty's Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace. This prompted much excitement in the Maughan household (well from Angus)
