Guided tours

A very sunny and WARM day, note Lynne and Brother-in-law Brian sporting dark glasses. Tardis Two is now virtually complete, bar for a few window surrounds to be completed tomorrow. Due to my previously arranged visit to Kingston hospital on Tuesday we will be unable to start boarding until Wednesday, which is very frustrating considering the length of time we have waited for this moment. But Wednesday it will be. Whilst showing Tardis Two off to our relatives today a young man approached to ask if he could have a tour. We naturally agreed. There is no point being proud of something if you can't show it off, is there? Like us he loved it and ran off to make enquiries with Marian regarding buying one. We'll charge commission. Moments later a couple around our age (old) also requested a tour. We considered charging them but pride came before profit. Apparently they have lived on a boat for fifteen years and are keen to replace it with a more modern version. On the tour we did our publicity blurb for MCC and off they went to get a quote from Marian. Again we'll charge commission. This sounds a good get-rich-not-so-quick project. I remembered bread for the swans so am back in their good books. After yet another lunch at the dragon one of the owners offered us a parking space in their car park anytime whilst we're out on Tardis Two. That would give us an excellent excuse to re-visit again and again. No change there then.
