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

hi jill, ive no idea what boat it is,but it looks like an old wooden centre cockpit boat, it looked quite a wide one too,lori

hi goodall thanks, that's very clear, we're coming through breydon hopefully on 28th sept, so will keep an eye out, & will be careful, lori

Just read this blog, & it'd absolutely brilliant, never laughed so much,it put my blogs to shame lol , don't think i'm going to do any more . Lori

hi all , maybe it was somsone who did'nt want any more visitors visiting, so swiched them all off, just my way of thinking lori

hi stranger, that does'nt sound good at all, & it sounded very expensive for a short break,i hope it has'nt put you off boating for good, sometimes you do get a bad one, but they're not all like that, & you do'nt always have to pay alot of money for them either, lori

hi john i was having a look at how far below sea level they were & they're 23ft below, thats really worrying, how often do they flood over there ? Lori

Oooooh you creep fred hahaha, well i'm having the omes with strawberries & cream john yummeee Lori

hi john, i just used an app on my fone & sort of got the gist as what you were saying, but when i typed it in, it dic'nt recognise the det, & geer came up as yellow lol,lori

Goedemorgen john, je gemaakt een lichte kleine spelfout denk ik haha,think you should have said was , dat is heel goed i assume thats what you trying to say lol. Sorry flower ,Lori

here you go john, just a little something to tickle your tastespuds, for you & mary-jane, & if you find she's suddenly dissapeared just look in the sweet shop lol, CHOCOLATE HEAVEN I'm afraid i'm a chocoholic i just can't resist the taste it's such a delicious confection & should'nt be eaten in haste, as soon as you open thd wrapper that aroma goes straight to your nose which stimulates your braincells into forgetting all your woes, & there's so many nice flavoured centres there must be a thousand or more from pralines to soft centres & caramels it's whatever your tastebuds Dore, for me it's those ones that are crunchy like cinder toffe, thats my little treat or sometimes it's the dark & creamy ones that you really fancy to eat , & it's that lovely smooth texture i love when the chocolate melts on your tongue it's just sooo delicious & creamy how can something so heavenly be wrong, eating chocolate is pure delight the velvet taste is a chocolaholics dream out of all the confectionaries around it's chocolate that reigns supreme. this will make your mouth water lol, lori

hi john it's a lovely little boat, i love the colour of it,it's chocolate coloured lol,oops there i go again with my addiction, lori

hi john, you seem to be really getting into this photography thing, great piccies as usual, it's nice to finally see one of mary-jane, she looks very nice ,very summery lol, how on earth did you resist all those lovely cake shops ? i don't think i'd be able to, ive got a very sweet tooth, & i absolutely love chocolate lol, i even wrote a poem about it, how sad is that ? i bet it feels strange being on a hire boat does'nt it ? knowing you can't leave your own stuff on board when you leave, looking forward to next weeks blog john, lori

hi june, hope you have a really great hols & i hope the weather stays nice for you , lori

hi mandy, i'sure you'll be ok, just ask the harbourmaster whats the best time to go through gt yarmouth & they'll tell you , they're very good like that, you may have to wait to get through reedham bridge, but you'll be ok as it's a swing bridge, loddon is a very nice village, & if you go into rosy lees cafe, you'll be sure of a very warm welcome from caroline, she always makes you feel at home, it can get abit narrow in places going down the river so just take it easy, lori

hi mandy , i'm from chessy lol, & yes it is a small world, i too am hiring a high boat, ours will be 8ft 6in too, we're hiring distant horizon, but we're not going til sept ,oh by the way them mooring prong things are called rhond anchors lol, we've used them a few times, you just ave to make the ground is solid when you bang them in, lori

hi mandy, we've moored there a few times ourselves, but usually stick to the middle if possible as there was alot of midges next to the trees, we've never ever grounded there, & it is a very peaceful place, as you say, not for teenagers lol, i'm sure you'll all have a lovely holiday, lori who lives in the next town from you lol,

hi john, loved your piccies, it seems hard to believe you've been there 2 weeks already, i strikes me you're enjoying yourself alittle tooo much over there lol, i can see you not wanting to come back home again . How does that boat compare to yours regarding comfort ? & if you had a choice which one would you have , that one or yours ? Lori

oh my god galleyali ive never seen so many yachts lol, if my hubby had been driving on the river then he'd have gone into panic mode , he hates yachts, even a couple of them i think you'd have to be very very patient, if you wanted to get through that lot, which i'm not lol, i think i would ave given up & gone to the pub, great story, lori

hi trambo, really great blog, & lovely piccies too, love that piccie of broadlander, it almost looks like a limo lol, but my favourite's got to be the old wooden broads boats, it's nice to see them still around, & nice to see that people take pride in them, lori

hi choco, welcome to our forum, & welcome from me lori, if you can, you want to take a trip up to coltishall, it's a really peaceful place, i'm sure you'll have a great holiday, once you've been once you'll get hooked lol, lori
