As regular readers of this column will know, this is the time of year when I get really excited – because the London Boat Show is about to open its doors.

Well we can all dream, can’t we?
Please accept my apologies – I know I’ve said this before but I do so love the start of a new year because it means that the London Boat Show is upon us – and it’s one of my favourite events of the year.
The Boat Show – lots more fun than Christmas
Christmas is great – it’s lovely to spend time with family and friends and just relax for a day or two – but for me, the New Year is always a very special time.
Smells like happiness

Docklands in January? ‘It’s redolent with the promise of summer…’
I love this time of year. Everybody is getting very excited in the build-up to Christmas, there are (with any luck) some of those glorious bright and crisp sunny winter days to lift the spirits and, most importantly, the London Boat Show is looming ever larger on the horizon.
Time for winter dreams
