THE PONTOON 

Like London buses, at the same as the Kitchen Drama, we also had the Pontoon Drama. One of the retaining eyes sheared off and a couple of days later part of the linking section of the pontoon broke. 

Roger at Helson Fabrications was brilliant and has fixed the offending parts and also welded new connection joints onto the landing pontoon that will hold it in place better than the older clamps which were prone to too much lateral movement. So it’s much better, is what I am trying to say.  We are also getting new fittings to repair the twisted pontoon arm and a new, narrow pontoon arm at the village end of the pontoon.
