Polly

Many hearty congratulations to you both! We notch up 45 years later this year, it doesn't seem like it....

All mouth and trousers! The male just flew in with a kill, had a lot to say, ate some, offered none, then flew off with it; while his missus is producing. The egg looks red, is that right?

Well Guy has a stronger death wish than DC I'd say. He should have won.

HW was always our hire yard of preference.

Yessssss I did think that might happen.:)

Will watch that!

No need for really foreign signs, I seem to recall t was an elephant residing in America...course they do talk funny there.

I looked for a descaler for the dinghy waterline; Viacal came up as fibreglass friendly. Hooray because a) I've got it already, and b ) I can stop feeling guilty about using it last time.:D)

Tilley hats are for boating by birth, but it's the only hat I have come across that claims to have passed through an elephant three times unscathed. Respect!

Well meths is better than elephant errr!....

Chris Packham would know...

Great video thanks.

How sad.

My mum was an awesome practical psychologist, especially when it came to managing my dad!

Oops

Is that only PC Tim? I can't get it on my iPad. Mods, please can we have a Broads Archaeology section within History or somethings? This is fascinating and only apparent to those looking at 'Osmisis' another kind of hole but not the archeological kind. A psychologist would have a field day on here!

I came across a house in an odd position, just inside a carpet factory gate, and wondered about who lived there. Many years later I discovered that my great grandmother was probably married from there, her brother was the occupant.

Brilliant is due for craning in on March 29th and we shall be down by April 1st weekend to set up and do early season stuff. We will be around the LBBY to Wroxham part of the Navigation most of the time, but wouldn't rule out a foray to Sutton Staithe Hotel by car.

Oh dear Ray! Most of my dad's lot were called Robert or Richard with a few Lydia's thrown in for good measure. Mum's lot partly came from Mayo so the transliteration of names from Gaelic and the famine diaspora makes it a bit impenetrable. Now Phill's on the other hand 'came over with the Conqueror' and one was one of the four knights what did for Thomas A'Beckett, but he is posh, eats his fish and chips without the paper. But uses a plate of course!

And then wonder why poorer families try to take the children out of school for late/early holidays. The holiday industry once promised not to hike the prices for school holidays...I wonder what happened to that?

That is smart Robin!

Sacrilege Strowager!

Broads coffee needed there then.

Strowager, my Singer is 1910 and was Grandma's from new, then mine. I made my wedding dress on it and a Harris Tweed suit for Phill amongst many other things. It still works perfectly having had only two new leather belts in all that time. I still use it occasionally and always sew at it, although I confess to having a (relatively new) Husqvarna of a mere 25 years of age, and I put that on top of my Singer, dropped into the table. The rest of the time it is proudly on show. Yes cockpit tents, covers for this and that boat-wise, even a jib for Rondonay because the Genoa was too big. Danny you cannot be serious! But if you are, pm me.

Well it's all in the name Q
