Peter and Marlene Cocks are our friends
from Wales England. None of you know them so I will take a little time
to introduce them.
We met Peter and Marlene during the 2 years we full
timed it in the Motorhome.
They come to the United States every year about
October or November. They full time it in their motorhome for the
winter, then return to the United Kingdome in late March or April.
Peter has the best job in the world. During
the summer he manages a firm that buys and sells potatoes. As you
can only do this during harvest time, he works in the summer and loafs
in Florida in the winter. My kind of job!
Last year they built a house boat on the Tames
River. In this country house boats are much like floating
Motorhomes. However, in England they are not traveling
boats. They are homes built on a floating barge and are fixed to
one location with permanent water, sewer and electric hookups.
Theirs is a two story houseboat.
Peter and Marlene are terrific people to spend time
with. They never miss an opportunity to do new things. As such
they are always on the go, traveling around Florida most of the winter.
They have so many stories to tell, and every one is more interesting
then the previous.
Even with all this traveling we get to see them 3
or 4 times a year and generally get to go out to eat at least
once. The next two pictures were taken in March, 2002 as we leave
for a night out. |
