Bedford River Festival 2008

Well we have had the "River Festival" here in sunny Bedford. This is a bi-annual event and there are thousands of visitors. I thought you might like to see a few of the pics. As I explained in my last post, teams build a raft and then have to paddle it (quite a way) down the river "Great Ouse" as you can see it is a lot of fun, but very tiring, and lots of cheating goes on!!!The river is usually full of swans and geese, they were in a bit of a hurry to get well out of the way as the rafts appeared!! The weather today has been just right,sun but not too hot. I hope you enjoy a few pics. from the race, as you can see the rafts are not always paddle powered!!!

I'm Back

Hi all!!!
Well long time no speak. I arrived back from Spain last night and I haven't stopped since!! My son is having a family birthday tomorrow as it will be his 30th birthday on Tuesday (how old am I????) So my daughter and her partner etc are coming for the weekend etc. etc. and this weekend is the "River Festival" here in sunny Bedford. So we have lots of decorated boats on the river, a street parade, a fun fair, and fireworks in the evening and the highlight of the weekend is a raft race on the river, where people build a raft??? and then race everyone else whilst throwing flour bombs amd trying to sink everyone else. And usually a good time is had by all.Anyway as I've been away I have not had a chance to make anything, and no real chance of doing so until next week!!! but hey ho. I'll just have to go mad then. Speak to you all soon!!!
