Crick 2013
May 2013
The weather has smiled on Crick this year and the crowds have flocked in to participate in the Inland Waterways premier boating festival. Not that I have seen a lot of it.
Wild Side has woven its stick charm on the attendees and the activity on the stall was pretty relentless, leaving little time to wander round the various exhibits. In fact I have learned more about the festival from the various blog posts than I did from first hand experience.

For us it was a mix of business and socialising, meeting friends old and new who showed up at the stall and sampled the Wild Side wares.
Queen of the cordials
To be honest, so many people came up to us to say hello, comment on our Canal Boat article of to poke gentle fum and poor old Capt Ahab we cant even begin to remember who you all were! Can I offer a collective thank you for all your kind words and friendship - whilst the show was a success in a commercial sense, the real profit was in meeting so many friendly faces.
Bloggers reunited
To pluck one particular meeting out of the mele, I would highlight the meeting of Halfie, Adam and myself - three blogging friends which ended in a very extended visit to the pub and and much delayed evening meal.

As I write this we are back at home and Wand'ring Bark is preparing for a return under the command of Mr Truth, one of my trusty return skippers.
