Early morning and evening light airs for me.
Team Brilliant's Easter menu also slow roast leg of lamb, in red wine with rosemary. Simnel cake, and choccy eggs of course.
Actually, I'd be bored! There is lots to do all the time sailing, and you don't have the engine noise. On the other hand, we do spend a lot of time pottering locally, sailing Wroxham or Black Horse, rather than making the much longer trips that motor boaters make. It depends on what er... Floats your boat?
It's the end of an era for Brilliant and her crew. So much quality skilled work, such great friendship, so many cups of tea, and setting the world to rights. We will miss LBBY sorely, but the friendships will go on. Thanks for everything!
Would I wind up a Stinkie? Heavens no! Perish the thought!
I have been bullied round Malthouse Broad by BA when sailing the Whimp though... Had to head for the reeds in the end! Lol
Great series, I think. I do cringe at the crashing about, though. Having owned and hired on the cut, I prefer the Broads for flexibility, and of course, mudweighting off for the night on a broad is the best way to spend the night.
I read Tom Rolt's book some long years ago and would recommend it highly. I also loved Sheila Stewart's 'Ramlin Rose' pub Oxford. This is a composite reminiscence based novel about the life of 'Rose' a canal woman.
Nowt is as bad as Griff!
I like Uncle Albert's notion of growing old disgracefully, and agree that sailies should always indicate their intentions, if they know what they are!
I watched the tv coverage and the dig coverage in the car park. I thought the Sunday coverage was fun and loved the Knights in armour escort. I am so shallow! I don't think taxpayers will have shelled out on the events either.
Coming from near Grafton Regis, I'm prejudiced and pro princes in the tower . however as a lit bod, I'd readily subscribe to the view that Shakespeare did a thoroughly political job on his reputation, nothing to really rely on there.
I think we are not able to call this, we don't have medieval mind sets so the ruthless power struggles of that period wouldn't sit well with our values. Just have a look though at a few hot spots in world news.....
I wonder if I will get modded......
