Hard working weekend

We have had a busy weekend and been making the most of the sunshine.. Del first did the brasses and then chopped up more wood for the locker.. It was then on the hunt for more and we managed to find some about a quarter of a mile away..... On Sunday it was another nice day and the canal was frozen after a very cold night.
After a hearty breakfast Del polished the roof and Al cleaned inside, so Derwent6 is spick and span at the moment..Del watched the football in the afternoon and Al had cooked a nice dinner ready to sit and watch telly all night. We thought we had better run the engine at about 6.30pm for a hour so the batteries were alright for the evening.. When Del started it one of the red lights was on showing that the domestic batteries weren't charging.. On inspection the belt had snapped on starting. We do carry a spare so Del set to work on changing it.. We found out that it had completely perished and was cracking all round. This belt had lasted three years and we definitely got our moneys worth out of it...
We were soon back in action and charging again and Al got to see her Dancing on Ice and Dallas!...
