Braunston Historic Boat Show Rally: Here are a few photos of the weekend.Timothy West and Prunella Scales were there..... David Suchet too and paparazzi who took photos of everything! Two troupes of Morris dancers...one group of Border Morris dancers, 'The Witchmen', were quite scary and quite ancient in a historical sense, with even a mention of the style in 1584!
It was a wonderfully colourful and sunny weekend and it was so nice to meet our new member Dave Gardham and his wife, Rose, and to catch up with old friends we hadn't seen since last year.
