In March 2007 we took delivery of a new replica Dutch barge, Hilda May. This was the culmination of a project lasting ober one year. Many people have asked for details of the project. More will follow in the coming weeks, including a DVD of the the whole project. But in the meantime here are some photos of the boat taken on 26-27 March 2007 during our first real trip out on the River Thames.
