That looks wonderful Jennifer. So envious.
A boat story: When were were young all those many decades ago, my big brother was a model builder and his crowning achievement was a metre long model of the Cutty Sark, a boart famous in Australian history. Some time ago he got to go to England and he toured the ship and was really excited by it. His timing was perfect because it burned down to the water line a week later. Sometimes you can just be lucky.
