Cheers,
Singkey was just here for a long weekend and also new friends Peter and Cathy for a night and lovely day, so I’m pleasantly tired. But I’m getting so far behind on my Ipswich emails that I’m sending this out as is and hopefully most of it makes sense!

The sky is gray, the wind is chilly and rain is predicted for most of the morning. Hopefully this afternoon we’ll be able to go out for a walk through Christchurch Park.

As Mary and Rick had spent time in Ipswich a few years ago, they know the area pretty well. So off we went on a hike over hill and dale. Actually more like city and country, but you get the idea. The weather truly cooperated as there was a 40% chance of rain. But […]
Regards the cosmetic issues on the boat after years of full use, a commercial fishing boat guy, with little love for “yachties” (who shall remain nameless) said to me: “you apparently didn’t understand when you bought your boat that you weren’t to actu…

My “new to me” Red Sox Sweatshirt!
During our passage from London to Ipswich I’d worn my much loved but very noticably worn Red Sox “hoodie.” Well, the middle of last week a package came for me! An absolute total surprise!! […]
