As of late on The Kite Experiment, we have steadily been moving along the Coventry Canal and blowing away the cobwebs. We are moored at Hartshill Boat yard a stone's throw from local family. We have good neighbours and vast fields surrounding us.
Projects have been progressing on the boat as we are looking into a new battery system of 6volt Traction batteries and a regulator so that we no-longer have to spend evenings illuminated by candle-light and going to bed early. We have painted the side hatches a lovely pea green colour and have cut and sanded the wooden inserts for the interior side. When the rain stops we will be able to glue the wood in place, fix up the beading and varnish them.
Wonderful news is that I have successfully secured a place on a writers residency in Shropshire run by Arvon. This will enable me to develop the poetry I have been working on of late and share with other writers etc. Horrah! I can't wait!
And now we are looking towards moving to Brimingham for christmas time which should take about 5 days of journey time so when I come back from Shropshire all our of ink, we will be thinking of moving on.
Continue the noise, noise, noise as the generator runs to charge up the starter battery that has run flat again.
