Congratulations Robin and all the best in your new life if you need any crew for the trip to Norfolk just let me know ha ha! John

I think that's a good fair offer Robin Equally I think that should secure, buyers for that type of boat dont come along every day and if it's been in the market 3 years they would be silly to refuse Good luck John

Thank you all for your nice words all doing well John

A little bundle of joy came into this world tonight, our first grandchild Noah John Cant wait to show him the ropes! Proper chuffed John

Looking good old boy, just don't walk the streets of dony in that gear though ! John

Hi Helen & Graham thanks for the great photos and tale. I do believe our paths crossed at I think Someleyton one afternoon midweek you were moored in front of us for an hour or so. (We had the Yellow lab ) I recall Graham keeping your boat spotless with the mop. John

Great news Congratulations Charlie, Lauren and family The little guy has quite a few trips on the water to look forward to! Our little chap is still hanging on in there (hope fully this week ) John

You will be fine Andrew, things should return no normal quite soon dont forget to pack your knitted trunks just in case you get stuck at Beccles though. Enjoy your lads week, it's 9 years ago now since we were aboard BA with you for that great weekend Now that's got you thinking! John

Hi Bob if you get to Coltishall next time you defiantly won't be disappointed if you have a walk (approx 10mins) to the Recruiting Seargent, superb food great service. John

Owners of dog found but a bit late as the dog warden came for her and took her to swaffam. My suspicions were correct she had fallen from a boat and the owners didn't notice for 2 hours, they were looking for her in the Chet This is one lucky dog tonight as the tide was running fast at Reedham. Sarah couldn't believe some one from a boat further back said they saw the dog pass there boat but didn't think any thing of it!! its been a week of rescues as I had to pull a young lady from the drink at Ferry marina Horning on Sunday as she stepped into the water to early as they were stern mooring again this could have been bad as she was right in the middle of the boat near the prop but all was well after a bit of vocal shouting to cut the engine. John

My daughter has just pulled a jack Russell type dog from the river at Reedham prime suspect fell off back of a boat harbour master had no information any body has any information pm me John

Great news John & Lindz hope you have many happy years together John

Big difference between 65k and 20k ? could be a playmate for your other Clive ! John

Definatly helms mistake, and agree if there was a big deposit at stake he may have taken more care with the heights. John

Looks well stuck, hope the tide was falling. re turning on a sixpence it's not that easy around St Olaves / reedham areas if the tide is behind you can't leave it too near to turn around or you will easy get swept sideways ( I have the same boat with large single engine ) had to put plenty power on on Thurs to turn around (well before bridge at Reedham ) I knew it was fine and in plenty time but when the strong current pushes you sideways it gets the grip a bit tighter on the wheel ! if experience is limited this can easy happen when panick sets in. John

Hi Richard yes I remember cascamite well as mixed up many cups of it during my apprentice joinery time.. As with learning any trade it really does set you up in life for doing jobs around the house without having to think about it. But marquetry is a real special game, tried it once and although it looked ok never again. John

Enjoy the Recruiting Sargent Charlie We were in on Tuesday great food , one of our regular haunts Must be due for a beer or two John

Sea Palling is dog friendly on the right only In the summer as you go over the ramp but it's fine for access at most tides. John

Enjoy your time afloat Griff We are afloat just left Southampton water next stop Fiords on Sat This drinks package is a bit too handy hic! John

Good luck with your move we did the same again (that's another story) in January loving it here again John

Ah yes Massingham butchers next to the broads authority tourist information in Wroxham has imho the finest sausages for miles commonly known as pork and whole grain mustard variety please save some for me though now the secret is out ! John

I'm not replying to emails let them knock on my door! If every business took that attitude They wouldn't last long lazy in my book John

Somerleyton wasn't openening yesterday, the board said due to the heat. It was 21deg ! it did open after 7pm though We have just passed through 8.20am at low water and there is an army of orange coated workers having a look at it John

Well done Phill & Ness here's to the next 10 years ! Great pub wth the best hospitality. John
