If anybody tries to jump out of this boat the rest of us will just haul you back on board.
And all that splashing will wet my tippex and nail varnish.
Just sit tight until we get to the other side.

Wow, that made me chuckle - thanks so much. Iāll consider myself whacked!!!
Reminds me of a song
āYou raise me upā etc.
A bunch of people brought together by grief, whacking each other with oars.
Thanks all. Xx
Itās good to smile sometimes. We cry often enough. My husband got really distressed if I cried. He lived his life trying (and succeeding) in making me happy. If he is still present in some form I want him to know that all his love and care was not wasted. That his love outlasted his life and left me better off than I would have been without him. I can and will be happy, even while I miss him with every breath.

Thatās so lovely and very profound. 
I have some paddle boards if anyone wanted to be a bit more adventurous??
Re DIY - I gave up trying to sort my bike today and took it in to get mended at Halfords.
They all commented on my lovely bike ( husband got it through cycle to work scheme ) and all the extra features it has.
I had no idea what they were talking about but just smiled and agreed.
Got it home and still no idea

Did they particularly like the sprockets? I have no idea what that means, but it sounds knowledgeable, but a little bit suggestive at the same time.
Can I ride your bike when we get to Widoworld? I promise not to get tippex on your sprockets.
I love going to those bloke places and pretending to know wtf they are talking about. Sometimes we have to give in and get the professionals on board.
My husband liked bikes and bought one for me. I refused to get on it until he changed the saddle. It had ā More and Largeā written on the back of the saddle. No way was I going to put my bottom on it and wobble along.

If I am in the boat you will all need to be in the other side or we will sink. Hate boats. Been sick on a lake and the Norfolk Broads.

Itās lovely Lyn. We went there last year. Quite a lot of walking. It was nice to do the woodland walk down to the hotel on the beach. We treated ourselves to afternoon tea.
Very pretty, take your camera. Enjoy. Xx

I read somewhere that boats are self levelling and have stabilisers,so I guess they have little wheels on the outside to keep it upright.

Fin keel boats have ālegsā that have to be attached on mooring to stop them falling over. Bilge keel ones donāt need them.
Yes, it always rains here in Wales!

I nearly sank a gondola in Venice once. Husband booked the trip even though he knew I hated boats. Can just about make it across the channel on a calm day. Once in place we always went eurotunnel.

Donāt worry Sandra, you are still coming on board. We will lash you to the pointy end at the front of the boat. You can be the figurehead, you will be quite safe and if you are sick it will just go in the water.

I love your sense of humour.
We need a name for our boat? 
Well Jane.
We canāt use HMS unless you want to put a case to the big boss.
Can it be a big boat ? I can bring paddle boards and bikes for folk to use.
And a bbq for when the weather is nice 
Amazingly I am still sitting outside at almost 9pm in a warm Scotland having a glass of wine with my daughter.
Will send some of this nice weather your way Lyn for you trip xxx
