Friday evening saw the arrival of a steam powered traditional narrowboat towing a 'buttie'
The annual boat show is a lusty jamboree of boats and beer tents, marquees and craft stalls all eager to relieve you of cash- and they did!!!
Saturday can only be described as wet and wellies were the order of the day!!
Our first port of call was the Beta stand to collect our parcel of belts and bearings which would see the end of charging the domestic batteries of the
starter battery and the start of catching up with the washing( 3 bags of it now!!)
The sun came out on Sunday and we spend a lovely day milling around with our visitors, Pol and Bill. We had booked a table at the "The Moorings", alongside bridge 12, for our evening meal and they did not disappoint, so good in fact we went back for breakfast the following day.
Our entertainment for the evening - Big O and the Traveling Wilburys Show. The original Traveling Wilburys formed in 1988 with a all-star line up consisting of Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. the band produced two albums and an array of hit singles but never performed live together. With this in mind, Roy Orbison tribute performer Paul Hopkins decided to join four other talented musicians to form the band. As well as performing Wilburys' songs they each performed hits of each individual artist.
Other talented artists performed throughout all three days.
Monday was a sunshine and showers day but despite the weather it was a enjoyable weekend spent with friends old and new.
