Braunston: Saturday

I have been looking forward to the Braunston Historic Boat Show all year. It is a show about boats and people, unlike many shows which are about commercialism.  I arrived to see this wonderful model cruising around. I loved it, not least because the engine noise changed as the boat slowed down.

There were loads of boats and as a result the parade was rather full. Thus it took much longer than anyone expected.  The canal looked fantastic:

I was ballast for Sarah and Jim on Chertsey which was great fun. I love the line of expressions here:

and here – same boat different party….

Liam was looking good on his boat

and Jules had a great hat:

After the parade I caught up with a few more friends before the drive back home.  It was a great day. I hadn’t intended to go on Sunday as well, but I did.
