Ricky Festival

Once a year there is the big Rickmansworth Canal Festival which lasts for a week and stages all different kind of things. On the last day of the festival there is a big feast at the Aquadrome and there are many colourful boats on the Canals. It is great fun and the weather was just great. It is nothing really special, but it is nice to walk along the canal and look at the canal boats which are hugely decorated with the special flower patterns. Vanessa came out to Ricky as well and so Dana, Vanessa and me had a great day out and in the evening I finally got to earn some money: I did Babysitting at Drew's. Maybe you remember his kids which have grown obviously, because back then Eoin was just 3 and Shona merely a toddler!

Anyway, here are a few impressions of the Ricky festival
