Sign in to add a tributeTrouble? Aye, there was trouble at times but we always seemed to find a way through it without too much bloodshed and any ill feeling was soon behind us. How could it be otherwise between people lucky enough to work boats in one of the most beautiful parts of the world?
I am sorry that Peter and I had harsh words recently but that was the nature of our long friendship (I think we first met in ’67 or ’68 as wooden boatmen, Peter, Gavin and I ); we clashed on a number of occasions over the years but I believe that we remained friends despite those occasional tiffs.
Few now remain who remember those early days but those who do know that they have enjoyed the best years and been very privileged to have shared the camaraderie and fun of that period of boating history on Windermere. ”Round the Pretty Islands and back in time for tea”. Now who was it that said that? and, of course ”HOLD”. Laughter and tears we shared in full portion and it is with great affection that I remember Peter, Gavin, Jim Fleming, Peter Nock and many others who have now “Finished With Engines”.
With great affection,
Philip
