Braunston 2010: bloggers met

In an earlier post I wondered how fellow bloggers might meet up. I needn't have worried: most who were there at the same time as us were encountered on the towpath. Here's Boots, and, no, those are not Bones's feet.



And then we found Chertsey, and Sarah in Chertsey's engine 'ole.



Back on the towpath Bones introduced me to Bottle and Wozie of Oakfield. I looked for Harnser - several times - but Brian and Diana had left the previous evening.

I also met Blossom and Dawn by Chertsey (where else?)

Here's a view from Butcher's Bridge: Chertsey is second boat up, second boat in from the left. Having followed the story of Chertsey's purchase and restoration (so far) it was great seeing it in the flesh for the first time.


Still to come: a couple buying a hotel boat business; and filming Chertsey.

What a gorgeous mĂȘlee this looks Halfie. I'd love to go just for the experience!

Yes, it's a great gathering. Totally uncommercialised, and totally free unless you choose to park at the marina.
