Ian and I have lived in Martham for almost 6 months and what a right move it was. Yes it's been hard work for both of us, but such a great quite place. The move to Norfolk has been a dream come true and at time's I feel I need to pinch myself, that it is not a dream. Plus we should be getting our new boat soon and this is because of Ian and my health , but I will not say anymore. This Friday I will be out of action for around 5 weeks, as I am having my right hand carpal tunnel operation. So we have asked our son (Alan) to help with the new boat. Here's to our retirement and living in lovely Norfolk. Plus, we should soon be out on North River and Ian will tell you the name and make of our new boat . It's been many years since I last posted and I guess it will be many years again . Stay safe. Regards Marina

Here we go again, another scam. I received an email to confirm an order placed with JDWilliams and to be delivered to a town, where I know no one. The cost of the order was just over £1,000. Next, an email confirm delivery to this so called address. Both emails looked VERY LIFE LIKE and at the time of receiving them I took them as real. I am waiting for JDWilliams to come back to me. Regards Marina

Hi here is a lovely photo of The Ferry House + Rainbow. Regards Marina

Hi, ok no I did get it checked out, but taking my pain killers seems to have worked. Regards Marina

Hi, well for us we still got to look at our boat from the front and of course we are moored stern on, all I can say is great to the fenders for taking the impact on the stern. So next time you see a boat with lots of fenders don’t laugh, think how they are protecting their boat. I know I will think like that. Regards Marina

Hi good to hear from you and yes I know hospital. We are going to see how it is in the morning and go from there. Thanks. Regards Marina

I know I should probably go to the hospital, buttttt after our holiday and dear Ian going to 2 hospitals and then going home early. Let’s see what the morning brings. Thanks. Regards Marina

Hi, thanks I have a heat pad on it at the moment and pain killers, sorry we don’t have ice. But thanks a lot. Regards Marina

Of course we are. Ask other members who know us and they would know I don’t post messages on here for the fun of it. I know right from wrong and this was very wrong. Regards Marina

Many thanks and I have checked the website. regards Marina

Hi Paul, I had got same samples from Shower Wall, but no close to what I need. So still looking. Any help much appreciated. Regards Marina

Well, believe it or not, but it looks as if I have field the holes with tile Fix & Grout I brought from home and it seems to be setting / working. First part fingers crossed done, next to find panelling. Regards Marina

Hi, no we do not and we do not have shore power. She is ex hire and she was in France for 10 years. Not looked after at all. Apart from us and dear Graham from Muffets. Regards Marina

As promised two photos of the panels and the panel I have unscrewed and removed. If anyone could help, but as you all know it is not that easy, because I found damp also and that is why it has happened. I am trying to dry it out, if only it would turn warmer and dryer. Fingers crossed. Regards Marina

We will do a PM to you or should we call you via the phone? Many thanks. Marina

We are on the boat from Saturday 29th Aug, but we go up to North River the first week and then back down the second week on south river. We should be passing you either 9th or 10th Sep. Would that be ok for us to stop by then? Many thanks. Marina

Thanks Paul and Andy for your information and yes we / I will look into any help you can give. What would help if someone could do the work for us, as Ian is hope less at something like this. Regards Marina

We are up on the boat in a weeks time, to which I will take pictures. Any help, please. Regards Marina

Hi All, Those who know us (Chelsea14Ian) and myself, with our ex Broads hire plus ex French canal boat. Alpha 29 Sweet Kingfisher. Last time we were up I decided to look into the problem of the rear cabin bathroom. We need to find a panel to match what was put into hire boats 20 years ago and no I forgot to take a picture of the panel. I have looked on line and got a couple of samples, but I don't think they are what we are looking for. So please, can anyone Help or advise us where or who to look or speak too? Many thanks in advance. Regards Marina

Just a catch up regarding dear Reedham yesterday (I am Ian's wife). Videos show better than just pictures. Regards Marina l%ewogVGS6OGIO4Hiw2gQg.MOV

Paul, you are at it again , but as it has been a long time since we last chatted face to face I may let you off, only may . One thing, I am never a pussycat, even with a cup of tea, but maybe with a bar of Dark Chocolate may work . Will you still be at the boat the falling Wed 15th? All the best. Marina

Paul I think that is great. You conned, good for Jill. Hope to see you both soon. All the best. Marina

Hi Paul, You are asking for trouble and yes Ian did tell me , but I might forgive you. Well wait till we meet at Cove (when ever that will be). Stay safe to you both and see you at some point. Regards Marina

Ok Ian, give him time and lets hope he can get the video playing, but to listen to him singing not good . For us it was a very different Saturday night, but a very nice evening. Regards Marina
