Working at the IWA Festival of Water at Pelsall

IWA Festival of Water at Pelsall

We were working at the Festival of Water for most of yesterday behind the counter on the IWA stand.  Business was steady though the tent got very crowded when a very heavy rain shower with some thunder and lightning passed by.  It was good to meet both boaters who ahd travelled here for the Festival and local residents interested in what was going on.  Today we just worked from 11am to 2pm and were able to spend the rest of the time looking around the festival and enjoying a rather good curry meal and a glass of beer.

Tonight we will be meeting up with our fellow Explorers at the bar and watching the illuminated boat parade where people who have decorated their boats with lights and bunting will cruise in a line up and down the canal past the festival site.
