Sorry, Charmian, I wasn't casting nasturtiums just pointing up the difference between the existing summer Glasson Festival and the new (smaller than Lancaster, but perfectly formed?!) spring Maritime one. I'm sure it'll be great, as previous Lancaster Maritime jaunts have been.... and with the added attraction of Bond's ice cream.
