Mark, didn't you try 'mouth to mouth'?

Just have to call him 'Ick'!

At least my old mates, all called Richard Head, don't see their names being taken in vain!

For jpg some folk might read j-peg

By the way, as no editing will take place basic jpg files make for a simple life, thanks.

David, will check.

How strange it is to have the auto censor jump in when referring to an abbreviated Richard! Hardly an offensive word.

I've done Oulton Broad to Hickling comfortably in a day, in a 28 footer with a 3.5 hp outboard, so MM's project should be a doddle.

Another factor is variety. I have no doubt that my choice will disappoint some but overall I think that we have the potential of a good calendar.

Unless someone is prepared to sponsor the purchase of these calendars I shall need cash with orders £10.00 each plus £2.00 postage and packing. I shall also need full sized picture files. Could you all use p.m's with your details and I can then post my e-mail address for picture files. I hope that you are all happy with this.

Thanks for the reminder . . . . . . . . . . There is obvious criterior in choosing picture suitable for a Broads calendar, e.g. needs to be in focus, needs to be in landscape format, needs to be a Broads picture. Will sort out 13 pictures as the evening goes.

Lots of four berthers have been converted to luxury twos. As for narrow doubles, whoopee, holiday fun, fun, fun! I do know of one Broads yard with older boats who has real problems with 'large boned' people. I suppose that such boats could be advertised as 'not suitable for displacement disadvantaged people'.

I have long thought this to be a charming photo of St Olaves. Imagine sailing in a small cruiser like the one in the foreground with a lady crew dressed in the fashion of the day, hat & long dress! Mind you, a tad more modesty in this day and age wouldn't go amiss, would it?

There was a lovely little steam launch out on Oulton Broad a couple of evenings ago. Plenty of natural fuel laying around if you can be bothered to collect it. In this particular instance it struck me as a very pretty way around fuel costs.

I've been working on my waterside shed these last few days, replanking and new stilts, and the tides have been high but not incredibly so, nor particularly low for that matter, it's just a case of looking at the moon, pretty much a full moon at the moment.

Keith, I believe that Brooms is now owned by what were once called 'asset strippers', I don't expect that they give much away!

Keith, I suspect that I can see exactly where you are coming from on this one but that aside I do think's Clive's point is relevant, charging less for fuel means charging more for something else. I also suspect that fuel is generally regarded as a lucrative add-on by most hire yards. Having been around Richardsons recently it is abundantly clear that a huge re-investment is going on, the dosh is being well used, better than going to the bank!

Having sold fuel in the past I can fully appreciate Clive's pricing on this one. Doubtless he gets through thousands of litres on turn-around days but then on other days it's a large investment standing still, unlike a roadside garage. Re pumps, expensive or what, both to buy and to service. Re the comment about stock being dormant in the winter, it used to pay, years ago. Having a full tank cut out evaporation but then we were almost guaranteed a price hike come the budget!

Tibbenham, on the back of Dad's bike?

Why waste money on fuel?

Where the market was, yes, WII After WWII many of the buildings became homes to squatters whilst many a local learn't to drive, often well under age, on the redundant runways. The man who bought the airfield from the air-ministry, when it was decommissioned, found platinum coils, radar or radio perhaps, which he was able to sell for rather more than he'd paid for the whole airfield. He later made another killing when he sold acres of crushed concrete to the construction industry.

So you want to emigrate to Norfolk? Good news then! http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/environment/mixed_response_for_new_homes_plans_in_martham_1_3830412

I've mentioned Geldeston Locks, here it is, pre WWI The goal posts over the lock were there to dissuade wherries from sailing into the lock and damaging the gates.

Those toothy critters! A mega S plug did the biz. Nothing huge though.

Same river, just nearer Beccles. Different wherry? Same era.

Blinking wet & windy up here. Good fishing though!
