[Why is it so Special?]

Why is it so Special? Well a week on Friday my drive up to Norfolk will be a different drive, because this time after 6 seasons / years of driving to Brundall, I will be driving to Loddon / Chedgrave and doing my shopping in Beccles.

 

The A 143 the Great Yarmouth road has many memories for us as a family  . When Alan (JawsOrca) and his sister were younger, we had horse drawn caravan holidays in and around Norfolk and Suffolk. A little different from boating and cruising the Broad. How little did we know then how we, well most of us would return to the area and feel how much love it gives us     . It is not only the places, but also the people  .

 

Roll on a week Friday and cruising on Saturday down to meet up with Alan and Dave    .

[Is this another sign of Spring ?]

Well Iain, you have had better temperatures than what we have had down here, but what you must remember is the old saying " Never cast a cloud till May is out"   .

 

All we can do is enjoy the warm sun shine   (our cat's have enjoyed laying in the sun).

 

Everyone out on the Broads have been so lucky  this Easter.

[Is this another sign of Spring ?]

Ian and I worked out in the garden today and I had to help a Ladybird out of the garden waste bin (first one of the year) and then I open the compass bin and a mouse was looking out at me  .

 

Is this Spring  ?

We shop at Morrisons and for us we will be enjoying our lamb tomorrow with lots of mint sauce  .

 

Last weekend while we were on the river and just relaxing, to see two Kingfishers flying pass us. What a sight and sound  . The water sends me into a daze and I just feel at ease  . Give me nature over humans  .

[Easter]

To one and all have a good Easter  . I delivered my Easter Eggs to Alan and Dave, with a pack of Easter Cupcakes  , as for myself I can not eat chocolate, so I miss out, but I am enjoying a Wherry shandy  .

I couldn't think of anything to say, but I wondered if your boat registration number was 36C or something like that.

lol...

Hi Viking23, no slightly higher  . It's been an on going joke on the net,  regarding JawsOrca and me  .

Marina  

[Not long now.....]

Should be on Lightning from this Saturday for a week. Boat not out this week so coming down definitely Thursday and possibly Wednesday - extra 2 or 3 days, wonderful.

 

Roy

Hello Roy,

Yes we saw you moored up at Loddon last night (Saturday). We had moved our boat to Chedgrave yesterday and we were having a walk around Loddon.

A great weekend on the boat and cruising on the river this weekend and we / I have put our lady (the little mermaid) on the boat  . 

 

Chedgrave / Loddon great places for food and drink and we would recommend to give the Kings Head Restaurant a try and The White Horse  . 

We will be up again in three weeks to be there for Alan and Dave (JawsOrca) on there big day (only in case a helping hand is needed)  .

 

Regards

Marina

Hi Ian,

Belated birthday wishes from us.

To keep everthing in balance I think you need another mermaid

 

Regards Alan & Tan

I think I may be chancing my luck if I went to get another  . 

 

Regards

Marina  

[A Little White Mermaid Fender]

I am so glad you all like our lady and she will be in place on Friday . I did say watch this space, as when I get something in my head I have to act . Ian you will get to love her . Regards Marina ️

[A Little White Mermaid Fender]

   Ok, yes I did buy a little white mermaid fender, but it was for Ian (ChelseaIan14) as part of his Birthday present (he is 60 today ). 

 

Our lady will fit in nicely  and will go on the port side at the rear of the boat  , as we do need a new fender to replace the old one.

 

I could not get a pink mermaid over here, but Alan (JawsOrca) has said he would buy a tin of pink paint  .

 

 

Regards

 

Marina    

 

 

 

 

[Putting on a Duvet Cover]

Hello Geoff, that is great news that you can look after yourself, because my husband finds it hard to change the bedding and I / we have brought a new hover (dyson) and he is finding it hard to use the tools for the stairs. Ian is good at cooking (he's a chef) 

 

Regards

Marina

If it makes you feel better. We won't be on the broads at Easter  , but I am sorry to say we will be up next weekend to move Sweet Kingfisher from Brundall to Loddon / Chedgrave  .

Hi Alan, four weeks to go  unbelievable. Dinner next Saturday at The White Horse Chedgrave  ?

[Putting on a Duvet Cover]

The problem with me is it is only me, myself and I who change the bedding  . On the boat we have two single berths, but at home we a king size bedding and I must admit I have no problem  (its being a women     , sorry guys  ).
