magpie patrick Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Just a few pics from an excellent week. Thanks to Pluto and the rest of the L&L/waterway museum team for making it such a fabulous time! Boats and Breton musicians in this batch I'll keep adding to them a few at a time.
