Ellesmere Boat Festival

Decorated Boats along the Towpath
This weekend has seen the annual gathering of canal boats for the Ellesmere Boat Festival. The sunshine brought out a lot of people to enjoy the sight of a host of decorated boats, with this years theme being appropriately " Royalty". This couple spent the afternoon wearing masks of our Queen and Prince Phillip.





Mobile Cafe - what a great idea!
In the main Festival field, Scruffy & I sat happily on the grass being entertained by "Keepers Lock" with their renditions of traditional barging songs. The lady had the voice of a young Mary Hopkin - ah yes, those were the days.

The motor may be old - but runs as smooth as silk!
