Up in good time as we were expecting Jessica for the day. Soon after we had finished breakfast she duly arrived with Joanna and Ellie. after a short chat they left, leaving Jessica to our tender mercies!
Whilst Mike continued with the varnishing - the main bedroom today - Christine and Jessica went for a walk up to the lift bridge and along the towpath. Jessica enjoyed exploring the wildlife and the canal.
The decorating was complete by lunch time and Jessica was ready for a chocolate biscuit! The bedroom had taken just over a full tin of varnish - two coats - so we will need quite a bit more.
In the afternoon all three of us went for a walk to the shop near bridge 224 (it turned out to be a Co-Op) but along the way we spotted a sign to a builders merchant where we bought three tins of the required varnish - Ronseal Satin Quick Dry Beech! (Not cheap!)
We returned quickly to the boat as we expected Jessica to be picked up soon after 3:30 - not long after Joanna arrived with both Ellie and Alice. Ellie had had an Inset Day which she spent hanging out with a couple for friends but Alice was in her school uniform.
