The further adventures...

...of shaddowshoes and youngraven by the side of the road.

We've got this odd sort of karma, the two of us - we find the most amazing things by the side of the road. Alright, perhaps amazing isn't the proper word - I mean, it isn't as though we found a forty-foot tall, gilded, talking Buddha (although astounding might be a better word for that sort of thing. Astounding or hallucination - whichever you prefer), but rather we find toys for ourselves that others haven't got a use for anymore.

Such as our caravan (which is in need of repair, to be sure, but it's still ours and we did live in it at weekends one summer), and shaddowshoes's Chevy Blazer (which goes almost everyplace he goes).

Our latest find is Liberty. Yeh - we found it, it had been left to its own devices in a carpark - no wonder things have got a bit odd lately... No, we've hardly found an abstract concept hovering about in the heat - that would be another hallucination. Rather, Liberty is a 15-foot Lockley sailboat, and she's at the moment docked in the back garden. Sure, it's a strange place to keep a sailboat, and she's no doubt remarking to herself about the utter lack of water, but we've not got a marina.

Well, not yet, at any rate - perhaps we'll find one by the side of the road? Who knows, eh?

So, we'll be learning to sail now. Well, not at this precise moment, as it's dark and she's for day sailling, but soon.

So, who's game, then?




In the carpark which had been home...



Look, it's the mast!



We've got plans for lake seisiunna...



In all honesty, the guitar is there for a size reference.
