We should have these visitors on Tuesday or Thursday but we were in such a state of chaos that we had to defer them until some form of order prevailed on Yarwood. By Saturday we were almost there - only the engine room looked like Steptoe's yard by now so when Graham and Evelyn Booth came a calling we were able to locate and break out the coffee and cakies. Many of you will know Graham from his writing and contributions to Waterways World magazine and Evelyn from her Lockside Antiques business that sells all things for traditional back cabins. Evelyn has supplied quite a few bits for Yarwood and was happy to offer a novice, like what I am, with some tips about how the traditional back cabin should be decorated.
Graham and Evelyn in Yarwood's rather bare back cabin - not bare for long though...

The threat of visitors always makes one work much harder aboard to get things looking nice!

Hi Jo
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see Evelyn and Graham and I picked their brains about what I should do in the back cabin - it is so useful that at least our vistors have a brain!
