Day 8, Monday
30/5

| Alan, doing some maintenance on the 12/50 |
Quiet start to the day, “helped”
Alan change the manifold gasket on the 12/50 after dropping
Maritta and Noeline in Lymington so they could explore
the shops. Alan finished his car and I went with him to
fill up with fuel (about 3 miles), pretty cold, any further
and I would have needed my coat.
Caught up with Maritta and Noeline for a
light lunch, started to rain and we lost the car, found
it eventually (actually the girls found it first and they
didn’t “know” where it was {obviously
neither did Alan and I}).
Went off to visit Bucklers Hard for the
afternoon, a very old ship building area where they built
Nelson’s Agamemnon amongst others, now a historic
Museum and display. Also viewed Hurst Castle where King
Charles 1st was imprisoned (on an island so you need to
go by Ferry, but we were to late.).
Finished the day by having dinner with Chris
Marchant (Vintage Tyre Supplies), his wife Sandra, and
children Holly and Tom (coachbuilder with Rod Jolley).
