So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu

In April I celebrated the fact that they were back. Now, as you can see (or rather not) they are gone, but not forgotten. The pedaloes will be back next spring. To be honest they had to go away this week because at the weekend it's the Kettwig Regatta which includes amongst all the serious rowing and hot young men in lyrca a couple of hours of nonsensical dragon boating...more about that in Saturday's blip!
