[Confession Time]

what i hate , is when people remember your little mistake ie, the harbour master , last year we went to norwich, had a lovely out shopping , came back & decided to have a cuppa then go, anyway, we untied the ropes & set off, got to the harbour masters office & we see him waving at us, so we just waved back , then we hear someone whistling, we turned round & he's shouting at us, you've forgotten to pull your mud weight up, oops so my sister went to pull it up, with about half of the rivers reeds with it, & the harbour master said laughing ,at least it won't need dredging this year, anyway, we went up there this year & this guy is the same one there from last year, we started to tie the ropes up & he came over & gave us a hand, then after he'd tied up the ropes he just stood there looking at us, & thought maybe i'd got my jumper on inside out or something, & suddenly said, I remember you two , you were the ones who dredged our river last year were'nt you ? & i said ERM yes lol, i really wish they did'nt have such good memories .lori

hi robin great blog as usual, you do like your wild moorings don't you ? lol, but £107 fuel ouch, we only used £70 worth of fuel on distant horizon for the week, & we went right across breydon & up to norwich & back, i'm hoping it'll be about the same with melody lol. lori

[Donations]

I'd kind of been putting it off, but the new software has cost us a few quid and we have to pay a regular license fee so it all helps. Our running costs aren't too bad, but we do need to cover them.

hi jonzo donation sent, lori

[Why do we hate Great Yarmouth?]

hi all, we've stayed at yarmouth quite a few time over the years , but never leave the boat at night, we stayed there a couple of weeks ago overnight & a liad of youths went by singing at 12 am, which kept me awake as i'm a light sleeper & was alert listening for footsteps , as my sister sleeps like the living dead lol , we then usually leave the next day after our shower & go across breydon, i have been to worse places on the canals like stoke, where some kids threw bricks over the bridge which was abit worrying, but we've never had anything happen like that on broads. lori

[cromer webcam]

Aah , your welcome flower ,that's great news, ive never been a fan of chrome myself, every time i downloaded it i funmoods came with & i could'nt put anything in searchbox because it took over, i'm glad your sister likes the link, it seems abit better than nl link lol , lori

[cromer webcam]

Well as my post wont let me the originator edit it , I will start a new post..   How strange..

 

Well done Lori for finding the camera.  I can get it as I have Chrome but hubby is on MSN I think it is and cant.  Is there anything you have to download to get the web cam to show.    He cannot even receive The Waveney Centre web cam either.

hi hylander , i use opera on both my laptop & phone .lori

[Broads boat found sinking at Stokesby after joy ride from Acle]

oh dear , thats aweful news, we did see it on thursday when we stopped of for lunch,& did notice that it was starting to sink , but thought it was because of the weight of the outboard, i did ask at the shop if they knew who it belonged to, but they no they did'nt . lori

[Mystic Horizon 1 & The Rascal]

hi robin, lovely blog, we're on our way home , we had a really great hols on distant horizon, but i know what you mean about that back bedroom, ive nicknamed it the coffin lol, & it really needs some sort of horn on top steering, the reeds were long goung uo loddon, but you could't warn anybody that you were coming, am feeling really low now, i felt like turning around & going back. lori

[Le Boat 2014 Brochure....]

i think the price some of them charge is ridiculous, we're on distant horizon which is 32ft & the price for the week is £650 with everything,which is good. lori

[big thumbs up for broads]

hi all according to towpathtalk paper ,holiday makers have given the broads a big thumbs up on the traveller review site,tripadvisor, the area has won a certificate of excellence which is awarded to attractions that rank in the top 10% worldwide for travellers feedback, NWT hickling broad, broadstours river trips, fineway leisure & wroxham barns also recieved top ratings, which is definitely good news for the broads i think. lori
