Clifford has taken to hiding himself under the vintage wooden rowboat John is refurbishing outside the workshop here at Struan Farm. It's a cool spot on hot days, and Clifford thinks we don't notice him there. He would be wrong.
The boat was made many years ago by John's dad, Maurie. It was given to a family friend many years ago (20?), but recently returned to us when they stopped using it. We didn't think it was a loan, but it seems they considered it as such. It's well made, but quite heavy. John decided to strip and repair it, he enjoys this sort of project. He's thinking it may end up floating in one of the ponds on the farm as rustic scenery. I'm not entirely sure about that. Who's going to empty the water out of the boat after it rains? I'm worried her name may be Karen...
