Hannah The Narrowboat: March 2014

I had decided that I wanted to spend a bit of time aboard Hannah, partly to clear my head and partly just to get on with some stuff I have been meaning to do for ages - like this blog! I also wanted to take some photographs restricting myself to my iPhone or Lumix rather than my pro Canon camera. I do this sometimes to make myself concentrate more on composition and post processing than worrying too much about camera settings.

On top of that I wanted to write some music away from my studio meaning I had to rely on my iPad, laptop and tiny 25 key midi keyboard which restricts me from overdoing things with my studio toys.

Lee came up with me for the weekend, going home on the Monday to look after Luke Junior, our sons little boy but I was staying until the following Tuesday so had a few days to do whatever I wanted!

For the first couple of days I found myself getting involved in videoing a boat refit for a couple of the guys on the marina which was fun and a bit of a giggle but after that I did have some 'me' time. I gave one side of the boat a good clean, fitted some new lights for the bow seating area and a couple of other little jobs like going around with a screwdriver to make sure everything stays put!

I was very lucky with the weather and spend a lot of the week in a t-shirt and jeans rather than huddled up in layers of woolen clothing! Lee returned on the Saturday evening and we spend a lovely day in the sun on Sunday before getting a text on Monday morning stating that Luke had wrecked his foot by dropping a transformer on it. We packed up in record time and got back to Luton so that Lee could go to the hospital with Luke.
