In a bid to defeat our sewage monster (which raises its unwelcome head after heavy rains) a new treatment plant is being installed between 4th and 16th January. This will mean some disruption to the car park, for which apologies in advance. At the same time we’ll also be replacing the ancient and ailing septic tank of Quay House. This should hopefully improve the slipway. And then we’ll be bang up to date environmentally speaking.

We got a call from George’s son Russell on Wednesday to sadly let us know that, after quite a long illness, George died on Tuesday surrounded by his family. It was not Covid related.
