A warm welcome aboard the good ship NBN, Frank.
Let's hope that's the end of your troubles this year!

We're having a goose tomorrow (my favourite) instead of the usual variations of Beef Wellington or Turkey or Rib of Beef on the Bone. We cooked a shoulder of gammon yesterday and what's left after evening sarnies and cooked brerakfasts will go out on Boxing day!
Boxing Day is our "waifs & strays" day from around the village and it's cold cuts, baked potato and Winter salad (red and white cabbage, carrots, onions, sprouts and whatever else we may have. All shredded together with a little mustard powder and icing sugar and sprinkled with cider or white wine vinegar). I normally make that tomorrow morning to let it absorb the vinegar and it's still crunchy the next day. I personally add some mayo to mine but Mary-Jane prefers hers neat!
We're trying out three new (to us) gins over the next week but still have the staple Gordons and Bombay Saphire to fall back on.
A Very Happy Christmas to you all from misty Norfolk.

I will not have a car without a full size spare. Used a can of gunk once, it went all over the road. The camels back was Aberystwyth to home in Norfolk, 301 miles on a space saver. Someone was looking after me, dont know how I got back there was nothing left of the tyre after 300 miles.
How I agree with you, Chris!
When we bought our 6-month old BMW M-Sport 120D X-drive for 10k below list price I accepted the "run-flat" tyres as a sign of the future................
Coupled with shiny alloy wheels they are a nightmare when parking alongside any sort of kerb as they are so low-profile that you can easily scrape the whells. Also the "Norfolk Potroads" have claimed THREE new tyres in two years, which at almost £200 a go isn't very helpful. "Sue NCC" I hear... That's a joke!
But one last thing, coming up to the end of her warranty BMW have given her a free 2 hour check in which they replace anything which isn't perfect. In our case an EG-something costing up to £600 was replaced foc.

Steering a course back on track , an easy filling and hearty winter meal is homemade curried butternut squash soup , or if your pockets can take it homemade spinach and watercress soup ( affectionately called pond soup by my children) , both only take a hour to prepare and cook from scratch .
Recipe, please?

When we've baked FB pies in the oven we have never had any problems with soggy pastry. We had one a couple of weeks ago and it was just fine.

A warm (!) "Welcome Aboard" the good ship NBN, Longjohn.
Whatever you choose we hope that you have a great time.

I do hope that that was intended as a "punny", Chris!
This is supported by the BA, no less.

Both my Grandfathers were gassed seperately in the Somme and neither lived beyond 50 years, Ian. So I wear my poppy with both Prida and Sadness that I never knew them.

Some friends of ours are giving up there steel narrow boat and are intent on buying a Broads cruiser.
They have seen a 35ft 1968 Ernest Collins "hybrid" (Glass hull, wooden superstructure) and have asked for my advice but unfortunately I have no experience of such a combination. So can anyone help, please, with things to look for which may affect one of these classics?

Wecome Aboard, Nigel!

The unfortunate thing in all of this is that we no longer have James' voice on the committee and will be the poorer for it.

Did they ever get around to refurbishing the toilets, does anyone know, please?

Here's my comment under that Broads Blog:
Words fail me, James.....
You have my utter admiration for standing up to this intolerable behaviour and thanks from us all.

Here in mid-South-Norfolk we are exceedingly lucky in that our small village of some 650 inhabitants has a pub with SEVEN real ales. Yes, Howard, SEVEN!
The Hockham Eagle has gone from strength to strength over the last few years since our landlord bought it from Punch. His pricings seem unique in that ALL his seven real ales cost £3.50... Whether it's Adnams Southwold, Woodfordes Wherry, GK Abbot or the new Adnams Two Bays.
Here's a couple of pics from last night:
Everything else (ciders, lagers & Guiness) is £3.80. Oh, and Ghostship non-alcoholic (0.5%) at £3.00!

Sorry to leave it so late but Grandson, his Wife and our two Great Grandchildren have suddenly decided to visit with us for the weekend..................
Have a Great Time!

I rang up a month ago and quoted NBN. No problems but only on the B&B rate nowadays. (They used to let you have it on DB&B).

They have massive fans all over and it's been really cool in there!
