I’ve forgotten the boat keys before now, luckily that was when the syndicate was still were managed by a company that had a local agent who lent us his keys. Another MS syndicate owner recently owned up to forgetting the keys, fortunately they don’t have such a long journey from home to MS. In response, other members offered up the info that they actually store the boat keys in their car so that they can’t inadvertently forget them…that sounds like a very good idea!

We caught the sunset too! A lovely end to a lovely day.

Actually, we were stalking you for longer 😂, from not long after Thurne Mouth, except there was another boat between thee and me.

We returned to Horning this morning, following Springer’s Retreat up the Bure from Ant Mouth, then we drove to Great Yarmouth where we had a super excellent meal in The White Swan (the fish restaurant that’s near the yacht station). Then we went to check out the historic quarter along the South Quay. All in all, we had a very pleasant afternoon.

We were so glad you were there to help out this morning. It wasn’t easy trying to moor on the BA side at Acle this morning with the wind pushing us off. I don’t think we’d have managed otherwise. It didn’t help that a squall hit when we were approaching and I’m sure you must have got very wet helping us out, so an extra thank you for that. It was lovely meeting up with you and Tony.

We have just (mid-afternoon) returned from a walk into Acle and back, having moored up by the bridge this morning. This morning was an opportunity to touch base with Kate and meet her husband Tony. We had a very pleasant late breakfast together at the Dunes cafe. The walk into Acle didn’t go quite as planned as we thought we would walk along the Weaver’s Way as far as Acle Dyke and walk into the village from there, but the path was flooded just beyond the Bridge Inn moorings, so we had to take the path that runs alongside the road instead.

No more videos to put Jean off even more than she already is! Seriously Jean, it’s a doddle if you plan to go across when there are suitable tides and a forecast fir reasonable weather. Go for it!

Instead? Blooming predictive text again! Irstead! We had a very pleasant walk to Alderfen Broad this afternoon. A bit rainy on the way back though.

Doing well for choice moorings so far this trip. We got the spot at Instead on the electric post. 😊

In terms of wokeness, I don’t want to get political, but I’m concerned that there is a trend to suppress certain historical artefacts and to rewrite history to fit with a certain agenda, which is not good.

"They all link you directly to the NT's own membership page where the only discount is for exsisting members over 60 with 3 years previous consecutive membership." I looked into National Trust membership now I'm retired but decided not to join as that seemed particularly stingy.

How lucky was that! Got to Stokesby, no room on the BA moorings but no sooner had we moored up beyond the pub that a space on the BA moorings became free, and as we were approaching it the second boat moved off too. 😊 So that's us settled. Now in the pub for a late lunch.

Yay! We are on MS again. Just son Harry and I, and no dogs. Now on our way down the Bure, dithering about where to go.

I enjoyed the latest Woburn Sands Band concert this afternoon/ early evening. Harry plays 3rd cornet on the band. Normally, the programme features photos of all the players. This time one of the tuba players had drawn a cartoon of each player. Harry was asked what his hobbies were. He mentioned boating, adding that he'd needed his wellies last time.

Welcome to the forum. More like ripping up £20 notes nowadays…
