It was to be expected that we'd get a lot more done this morning than after lunch, and so it proved. I achieved two things; making some bread pudding and finishing off the third fender.
When Helga left Sebeq at the end of her cruise, she passed over to us the bits and pieces from the galley that she couldn't take back to Germany. These included some part used loaves of bread, some eggs and some milk, so I've converted them into a bread pudding, adding soft brown sugar and vine fruits from the store cupboard.
Bread pudding can be eaten as cake, so when it's cooled, I'll wrap it in foil and pop it into the freezer in the bungalow for use during the Open Day.
Whilst the pud was in the oven, I got on with the final stages of the fender then cleared away all the fender making kit and odd bits of rope, storing them under the side berth.
Sheila, meanwhile, was doing a bit more gardening in the really quite sunny weather.
Finally, we made a trip to the tip with our recycling, getting back to the boat in nice time to get changed into pub-going clothes. Together with Stephen and Jayne, we had an excellent roast beef Sunday lunch in the Boar's Head.
Afterwards we ambled back to the Trading Post for ice cream before returning to our respective craft for some quiet time, enlivened by the boats and gongoozlers passing by on either side.
Finally, we rounded off an excellent day by reconvening at the TP for hot choc or tea according to preference. It looks like it's going to rain quite hard tomorrow, I fear, so we'll probably stay hunkered down indoors.
