Double ended warp perhaps?

You can find old fossils on the Broads, often to be seen supporting the bar at the Pleasure Boat at Hickling!!

Should have dropped off at Staithes! https://www.yorkshire.com/places/yorkshire-coast/staithes

Impossible!

Sell it on when you have finished with it.

If I didn't live just a few miles away then I would be seriously tempted by one of these: https://www.waveneyrivercentre.co.uk/lodges-for-sale/ I've outlived my lollipop so to speak! I know that Carol's decision was a hard one to make and that maybe I should make the same one. Perhaps a dayboat is the answer. Hope so, it's the route my wife and I have decided to take, for now. Old bones and camping aboard don't really work and bigger boats are just too big!

No, Henry it is.

But the one up by the Golden Court is open. Don't forget Tesco, they deliver to your door, don't know about just a box of tea bags though. Only a couple of miles to Lidl, taxis available.

The Broads is quite unique, a fact that is continually forgotten, even in this report. I find it quite amusing that London has declared itself a national park city. I also note that the report refers to the Broads as already being a national park, e.g. " Introducing new audiences to the Broads National Park A ‘Water, Mills and Marshes’ pilot project run by English+ (a charity based in Norwich) in partnership with Natural England and the Broads Authority . . . . . . . . A list of proposed new national parks does not include the Broads. It appears that JP is to be answerable to a higher tier of command. Whilst it is acknowledged that there should be greater local input the report also suggest that the various family members should work more closely, surely yet another threat to the individuality that makes the Broads what it is. The Sandford threat applies to any form of right of way, that includes the hard fought right to roam and the network of footpaths crisscrossing the countryside. As yet I have not fully digested the report, the above is just my immediate response following a cursory perusal.

The Waveney Inn (WRC) has a shop! The Lion at Thurne used to have a shop, maybe it still does.

I suppose that the Big Three in the UK are quite likely the RSPCA. the RNLI and the RSPB, all seemingly awash with money. Two of the three I don't support, at least not financially, but I do support my local RNLI branch. As Finny has rightly suggested there are smaller charities that tend to be overlooked. In both Norfolk & Suffolk we have excellent wildlife trusts, both of whom do an amazing job, both of whom are locally accountable, as is our local RNLI, that I consider to be wholly desirable.

Not always so easy at the weekend though.

It was a loss when Alan went, agreed, not been the same since.

Wow!!! Does that include red carpets?

Being as how the world works doesn't make it right nor proper. Increasing revenue and expenditure within a publically funded body, in this case the BA, and then being rewarded for doing so has lead to some questionable excesses, not least the 150 or so people employed within the organisation. The incentives for excesses are indeed excessive. The measure really should be that of quantifiable success and whilst there are some notable ones we must balance those against some notable blunders, such as Dragonfly House, The Thorpe Workshop & the thankfully failed Broads National Park Bill.

I rode a horse just once . . . . . . . . . . .

The amusing thing that has come out of the woodwork is that the vintage cars they drive around in are shunted around on trailers between 'takes'.

Not forgetting Bah Bah Black Sheep, Larry The Lamb and Nelly the Elephant, well, it takes all sorts!!

Seemingly not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spillers Who makes dog food now?

On Thursday, so I've been told.

Surely not, more like Spillers, the dog food people?

A few years ago there was a known high twenty on Oulton Broad that a number of us had caught and inevitably her presence became known to several TV personalities. Sadly she was caught on camera, but what was not shown was the forty minutes that she was out of the water being weighed, unhooked and photographed. She was never to be caught again, we can only assume that she didn't survive her fifteen minutes of fame.
