Thanks! It's quite some time since I had a 'build-it-yourself' breakfast in 'The Cafe on the Pier'. Maybe

it's time for a return visit to Old Harwich...😎

 

Do you (or anyone else) know if there is a 'traditional boats' presence at this festival (I will track down

the organisers and ask them direct, when I get a moment...)? The last time I was in Old Harwich there

were 3-4 traditional boats hanging off the pontoons

Here’s a vid from the 2017 Festival.

 

And here’s the ‘appetiser’, I think they call it in Hollywood, for 2021
