Getting up early has its advantages! As I walked, cup of tea in hand, up the driveway, I spotted two tree-trimmers in the lane clearing overhanging vegetation from the powerlines.
With my drinking days far behind me, I handed them two bottles of red with my best wishes for the new year, and hinted that the liquid amber in our front garden was getting a bit too close to our own powerline.
I don't know whether it was my unwashed and dishevelled state or those two bottles of red, but our powerline is all clear again, and I'm enjoying my cup of tea while sitting on the jetty and looking across to our new neighbour who's been anchored on the far side of the river for two days.
It's good to see other people enjoying "Riverbend" as much as we do.
