It's been a while but the heatwave makes demands... Feet up, drinking Italian beer with a hint of sea salt, at the #boatyard

Can we have a bit of a nod towards a wildlife garden on the polluted brownfield that is a #boatyard

And the early morning view off the stern. Our breakfast spot.

@weta no leafy greens, no. But there's blackberries to be had later in the season.

Teasels and ragwort. And work in progress, been chugging away.

So today by way of light relief from the interminable sanding it's death to the fuckugly jerry built gas locker which has been responsible for most of the outstanding leaks as well as spoiling the view from the stern deck. Lovely day for it!

And imagine if this were returned to its historical usage as a tide mill. In former times it powered the grinding of flour. Pigs might fly first though, the current local council having fallen to the gammons and kippers.

And the former lagoon for the tide mill as a reverse shot on the journey back home. Hard to make out as everything's been growing so vigorously but the riverside footpath curves away from bottom right.

And continuing on the subject of tide mills - which perhaps one sunny #SolarpunkSunday will make their well-deserved comeback - here's House Mill at Three Mills in east London marking its 250th.

@rooftopjaxx Nice! I used to co-own a wooden sailboat with my ex. I swear we worked on it more than we actually sailed.
