Just had a few days off work, sorting stuff for my youngest going camping for a week this weekend. ...Viking Costume included! and getting a few things ready for our Broads hol in August...counting down the days! can't wait

Wow, Congratulations! To both couples

Thanks again everyone for the lovely welcome

Hi, met a couple from Bournemouth a few years back, he was into Pike fishing....then the following year we bumped into them again....What's the odds on that happening? Sue

Hi SwanR, yes there's always an obstacle, main thing for me is moving away from family. As for cottages, we tend to do that if we have had in-laws with us (in their 80's), although only have father inlaw now, so talked him into going with us this May, he's a bit unsteady on his feet,...can't swim!.....had a few hairy moments with slippy decks after rain during the night....but he came home in one piece!

Memories galore!, but every visit seems different, never get bored of it, always have a good tale to tell when I get back home....yes I've done the usual holidays abroad (but don't like flying far). Been to all the corners of UK, even done the Thames twice. But always return to the Broads!

We try to make the return trip home 'sweeter' by booking the next hol before we leave the boatyard! Sue

Ha yes Iain, I'm attracted to anything 'boatified', just taken delivery of new binoculars today, for hunting out the mooring spots.....and wildlife of course! Sue

Hi Dave, it's surprising how many of us there are. Met quite a few from around here, whilst boating . Only one negative......the drive down!

Thanks again for the welcome, hope to meet up with a few of you, if I'm ever there when there's a meet on. Sue

Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to joining in with a few of the topics on here

Hi, I've been a member on here for a while, but never introduced myself....Been coming boating since I was about 3-4 years old (53 years young now). Initially with parents for many happy holidays, then honeymooned on the broads, then with friends, then children, last two years had grandchild with us aswell. During all this love of the broads my family also had their own boat (not on the broads), and later bought a chalet in Stalham, so when not hiring boats increased our time spent around the Broads, sadly this was sold a few years back. Now we try to get down on a boat twice a year, but sometimes in a cottage. Think like a lot of people, my dream is to move to the broads and have a boat at the bottom of my garden....we live in Sheffield (another Northerner), came down end of May this year, and down again end of August (still having to do school hol weeks).
