Following Paddington to the Canalway Cavalcade

After reading "Paddington Bear at the Carnival", and having a slight obsession with boats, it seemed only fitting that we should attend this year's Canalway Cavalcade, in Little Venice.

... there were of course plenty of boats to see..

... here they all are parked around "The Pool", all decked out in their flags...

... we saw Mr Mylo the Children's Mime Artist... who was amusing...

... and we watched the opening ceremony from the Bridge on which it is hosted, and the very same bridge that features in the final page of the Paddington book...

it was a fun day out... and best of all we got Ted a badge from the IWA that reads "Captain".
