Last night Stuart and I attended the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust's barbeque at the stone building on the wharf. This is held every year the night before the waterways festival. We also brought Theo and Louis along, and we all enjoyed the food.
We sat by the canal and admired the narrow boats moored four and five abreast, decorated with flags and flowers. There will be a best dressed boat competition tomorrow.
The canal is one of Newburys greatest assets, and it is lovely to see it celebrated each year by the trust. Narrowboat enthusiasts come from far and wide, and I'm looking forward to the festival tomorrow as there will be many unusual stalls to look at. Stuart and I have been canal enthusiasts for years, since we had a number of narrow boat holidays in the 1980's, and one last year.
