After I'd been to see Mum this morning (she was asleep and didn't wake at all), I wandered along the canal to the Town wharf, where there was a coracle regatta in progress. Believe it or not, there were at least 12 coracles there, I had no idea it was so popular. So I sat in the sun with a sandwich and watched lots of races, as well as general fun, and then they said I could have a go. I took my glasses off just in case, and found it very good fun, and not as alarming as Id expected.
