I saw ten cars with fixed penalty notices, that was enough I suppose, and did notice parking spaces seemed to be at a premium. No trouble at all finding a space in Sainsbury's car park but perhaps this wasn't an option for those with young children or the elderly etc. As for the festival itself, it was good and there were plenty of people in Vicky Park, plenty of stalls to look at and things to buy. Yes, a good way to spend an hour or two. Only thing I would love to see again is a working boat, the sort that used to bring grain or coal to Newbury at one time. Haven't seen one of those on the K&A for a long, long, while although there is alleged to be a bloke who travels the canals selling coal from his boat. Anyone confirm, please?
