Crick and Julia Bradbury

Following a surprise birthday party yesterday for my eldest son, Matt, we went up to Crick for the 2013 Boat Show. The weather was fantastic so the show was packed.

If you went there yesterday hoping to see Julia Bradbury, you will have been disappointed. You'll have to watch Countryfile.

Today, the show lived up to its billing. Lots of stands selling everything you might need for a narrowboat, in the marina there were lots of boats for sale, the beer tent was doing a good trade and there were lots of smiling faces. Can't be bad!

After a very nice one to one chat with Julia for about 20 minutes, I couldn't leave without spending some cash so I came away with a few 'consumables' for Skylark. All in all it was a very pleasant weekend.

Edit: I made up that bit about chatting to Julia.
