Not according to the lady aboard (she with the red hair in the picture). It's the product of a knitting group she runs.

She looks quite good-natured, not crochety at all.

They also had an old icecream van from which they sold finger puppets. We had the L&LC Society stall there as Kennet had been open at Liverpool and Burscough the previous two weekends, and will be open to the public at the top of Wigan on Sunday 10th July from 11-4 at an event organised by the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside. Although just about possible to move Kennet to Leeds and back in time, our volunteers do have other things in their lives to do. The 'knitted' boat was behind our stall, for which, with Kennet, we are always looking for volunteers to help with staffing, etc. See the calendar at www.llcs.org.uk for what we are doing this year.

You're too late - SWMBO has already done it, albeit on a slightly more modest scale!
