Getting ready for the queens platinum jubilee PARP on Saturday.
Nice new fenders fitted to Dover and new cross straps, breasting lines and anser lines fitted courtesy of Pete from Tradline. All made to order. Fantastic service. #NBDover #Boatsthsttweet #Tradlineropesandfenders #ButtySuccess #Braunston
