The darling boats of May Gallery
GLORIOUS spring weather greeted the 22 boats which made the trip to the annual May gathering at South Kyme in Lincolnshire.
Dave Carnell’s nb Scrimmager was judged best-decorated boat.
The narrowboats provide a focal point for visitors.

The waterway is known as the Kyme Eau between the village and its confluence with the River Witham at Chapel Hill.
No prizes for guessing it was the Royal Wedding weekend!

A peaceful scene in the spring sunshine.
The ducklings were attracting plenty of attention.
Visiting boats line the towpath.
Queuing for burgers, mediaeval style!
