Exciting News!

A while ago we contacted Hoseasons and asked if their archives held old brochures from the 1950's in which Crocus could possibly have been entered for hire. At the time they were very busy preparing next year's brochure but today we received the fantastic news that she had been found as Crocus in 1953 ...

and then as Tally-Ho in 1957 ...

It was great to see her as she was in her hey-day and it proves that we're right in deciding to keep her as Crocus because that was obviously her original name.

Thank you Barry at Hoseasons for all your help.

Plans!

We've been away on holiday but hopefully work will be starting again soon.

In the meantime Mike has been busy drawing up the plans for inside Crocus ...

She is very tiny so there's not much room for the cooker and loo but we think we can just about fit them in. We've trawled the internet for small cookers and found this one which is a caravan cooker ...
As we won't be going to sea in Crocus it is not necessary to have a marine one which would be all-singing, all-dancing and mega money! When we bought her she just had a two burner and grill camping stove which was located in a locker in the well ...

It has now been removed ...

and with the new cooker going in the cabin, the locker can hopefully house a cool-box.
