Looking good Dixie! Love the detail on the Tung Shan, the rigging (is that what it is?) looks particularly fun!

It's coming along well, Dixie.  I like the sense of business with all the small craft...just how I imagine it.

Thank you all for your comments. The boiler was fixed by the engineer when he came at eleven at night , he was supposed to be with us before lunch . Lucky for us he was a very pleasant young man who said he would do it there and then despite British Gas say it would need to be done in the day at some point . So new pump fitted in the middle of the night it was great getting up to a warm house and hot water . Ah on with the painting later in a nice warm room .

When I first visited HK in the early 60s I was surprised at the amount of boats and all the scaffolding they used to secure them .

Fire regulations were totally ignored and gas bottles were everywhere linked with very flimsy looking pipes . The

I think it about done but I will hold of putting in the gallery for a few  day in case I decide to make any changes or additions. Don’t want to do any much if anymore as it will look overcrowded and over worked .
