Castles and roses at Crick 2010

We arrived back home this afternoon after visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Birmingham. On the way there, on Sunday, we stopped off at the Crick boat show. We had intended to get there in time for the service taken by members of the Boaters' Christian Fellowship, but I'd underestimated the time it would take to get there from the wilds of Norfolk. We walked in to hear, "Let's finish by saying the words of the grace." Oops. We'd missed it.

Oh well, we said hello to friends, and were encouraged to visit boats Ki-Wi and Pilgrim's Progress for a cup of tea later on.


The first photograph I took was of some of the stunning output of a canal artist, who was painting traditional-style castles and roses decoration on all sorts of things. Unfortunately I didn't make a note of the name of the artist, but looking through the list of exhibitors, the entry "Sue's Roses & Castles" rings a bell.


Is this Sue (seated)?

A search for "Sue's Roses & Castles" merely returns the entry from the exhibitors' list I'd consulted in the first place!

Hi Halfie, yes that is indeed Sue sitting down painting. She's a wonderful artist and painted our buckby can for us a couple of years ago, which we were over the moon with.

Thanks Del and Al. Yes, her work looked stunning. I'm not surprised you're please with your can.
