Times are a changing!

This year as they all do has had it’s ups and downs,

I finally got old and turned 30 this year. On the upside on the first of August I got married!

My wife Adeline is a French native, freelance teaching with various local schools and universities. (Which makes all those days I spent at school French lessons saying things like ‘It doesn’t matter if I don’t understand, I’m never going to need to understand French‘ seem a bit daft. Especially as mother/father/brother in law have same level of English as I do French)

Towards the start of the year due to the high diesel price I was spending upto £140 per week just on diesel (£20 per day) this is slightly better now, but combined with two horifically wet summers in a row has made for a non-profitable year. Not so much a shortage of work as just simply not being able to do it. Think back to the last time we had 48hrs with absolutely no rain (or sea fret)  June maybe? For this reason I have had to reassess what I should do workwise, I am starting to work fulltime for Royal Quays Marina on the 15th of September which most of you RQ residents have probably seen on your 'equay' I am currently trying to finish outstanding work and am not taking on any new work, please don't be offended when I say that I can't take on any new work!!

I would of course like to thank everyone who has had work done by me over the last six years, and who have for the most part been a pleasure to work for.

Regards

Aidan
