The 2 pubs in Salhouse (Lodge and Stag) are another level in quality from most broadland pubs. Make sure you book even midweek as they are fully booked 7 days.

Tomorrow is Daughters much awaited day at last.
This has been in the planning stage for what like seems forever.
What came as a big shock was the amount they have spent on this affair, it's somewhat extravagant imho but hey ho, its their day, they are only doing it once and they can afford it so they tell me. I have contributed of course as any doting Dad would do so if possible. The event is costing more than our present house cost to buy - Mind you so did her engagement ring for that matter
My duties in order are:-
A walk down the aisle to 'Hand her over' - Might as well seeing as I'll be there and not doing owt else that day and we did get a proper invitation too
Brides Father speech - I've had this sorted for a good two months now, it has been vetted many times by MrsG under strict orders from the Bride. - Then of course I will have the 'Real' speech ready to go too
Followed by Bride and Dad dance - Do I take it traditionally or break out into 'Dad Dancing'?
There will be around one hundred guests attending the ceremony with about one hundred and fifty for the evening 'Do'
Family and friends keep asking me if I'm nervous for tomorrow especially my speech - No, I'm not, not even a tad, what I am is ready in all respects
Got a telling off from my MrsG when she informed me that the mother of the Bride will be dressing the Bride on the morning of the event. I stated that therefore it was only fair that the Father of the Bride should undress the mother of the Bride at the end of the day

Have a great day Charlie, Laureen and family 👍😀

The last bank in Wroxham has given notice of closure (1st December 2023).
Not a good move with all the older generation and holiday makers in the area!

Same a couple of weeks ago (Saturday afternoon) when we were passing on the river, maybe a weekly thing.

I’m sure there was a 3mph sign at the end around 2006 when we had a cottage and day boat at Sutton Staithe.

That Madri stuff is everywhere
The marketing looks like it's from Spain but the spanish have never heard of it.
Good bit of marketing /rebrand from Coors/ miller brewery as their Carling wasn't doing too well and get away with chargeing an extra £1 a pint!
Sorry just saying, enjoy your holiday you've picked a good week 😀

They are really going for it this year to upset the boaters.I guess it’s a good time for it to come out in the open as most people have paid their toll !

No not the same owners, the Stag was bought by the same people who own and live at Salhouse Hall. The Lodge was bought by Colchester Inns ( Recruiting Sergeant group ).

The Stag Pub (formally the Bell ) at Salhouse is coming along nicely. They have really gone to town on this refurb (it was very much needed ). Should be open early June I reckon. Also the Salhouse Lodge (I think this is to be called The Buck ) should be re opening around the same time again. So 2 new venues for our village and both pleasant walking distance from Salhouse broad moorings on a summers day.

I've always found the Saphire not the easiest for stern access with the high deck.
There is a modern/ later version 99k at NYA which is quite nice and better steps at the stern but it's been for sale a while.
