Last of the summer crowds

Everybody is moaning about our summer this year. At school it is the hot topic of conversation in the staff room. However, despite the gloomy bits, browsing through the photos has revealed plenty of sunny skies and lots of crowds. Here is a typical scene as we launched one day this summer. The boat park and angling club always draw a crowd of strollers whether it is sunny or over-cast. As soon as it becomes apparent that a shout is underway they stand enthralled...literally transfixed by the spectacle unfolding. I guess it will be a bit quieter for a while now.
