Looking very good there Helen. :) What kind of size will the finished product be?

Another event not taking place in 2019 is Great Yarmouth Airshow. There's apparently a chance of some other flying displays but the event lost a lot of money. I do know that one of the park and ride locations was so appalling that people were claiming a lot of money in compensation for damage to their cars - one of my friends got a payout of £700. Shame as we would have gone along again. https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2018-09-28/great-yarmouth-airshow-cancelled-after-huge-losses/

Welcome to the forum Taleteller. Wonderful start to your tale. This is when I need to be able to click "Love" rather than just "Like". You've certainly painted a picture and set the scene.

Whilst funerals are sad occasions they can bring some joyous moments.

Evening all ... and welcome Rich!

Well I do believe that the Nogs are probably the next ones out! But I'm counting down ...

Welcome aboard! I've hired various kinds of boats but not one like Brinks Omega. But Robin aka The Captain, hired this one and did one of his blogs. If you search for Brinks Omega on YouTube you will find his videos including a review of the boat.

Ah ... it really was a short trip. I think that means it's my turn next ... unless you get another one of those surprise "someone else can't go" kind of syndicate opportunities!

Hope you’re holed up somewhere sheltered Jay. Sounds very windy out there.

How about Reedham? We certainly watched a football match in one of the pubs there some years ago. Like Jay, we don't put the tv on much, preferring the art of conversation.

Fascinating reading. I’ll message you as soon as I get some time off my phone and back on my computer.

An interesting day. You certainly do walk miles.

Enjoying hearing how this is going and seeing what you’re making. Are you generally into crafts? I did a bit of cross stitch a long while ago. My mum used to sew and knit but it didn’t rub off on me. Whereas my niece makes the most amazing things and has a room in her house just for her crafting some of which she sells on Etsy.

Stunningly beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing them. :)

Thanks for the link RS2021. I've bookmarked it to check back to once they have more information and photos etc.

Wonderful photos. So interesting to see the Broads from above.

Fond memories. Happy Birthday Iain. I was looking for something in one of my old holiday tales a while back and found posts that he had made. A nice way to be able to remember him.

Welcome along Mark! Looking forward to hearing how you get on with your search and what you find.

Welcome along! Look forward to hearing about your boat.

Hubby and I lived in a village for a couple of years before we moved to the next town further out where we could afford to buy our own house. Charmingly it was called Little End ... and all it had was two pubs and a factory! At the time I didn't drive so whilst hubby gave me a lift either two or from work, the other way was a one hour bus ride and a two mile walk. That was my motivation to learn to drive. Apart from the price of houses, we moved away because we wanted to bring our children up somewhere where they wouldn't be dependent on us to get them everywhere. Little End had one bus an hour between 10am and 4pm or some such thing. Mind you, back in the 70s my aunt and uncle moved from London to a Norfolk village with nothing but a small village shop. There was one bus on a Tuesday to Downham Market and one bus on a Thursday to King's Lynn. It was a little place called Beachamwell if anyone knows it.

We have never moored at WRC but we do like Ferry Marina's boats ... yes even those that so many people fail to see the attraction of. Here's Silver Emblem ... so easy to step off the back when stern moored and how easy to get to the upper helm via the steps at the side. I know ... a losing battle with some people but there you go. I am really intrigued to see which boats become available for hire on the southern side.

Well we have GrandCats ... we're cat-sitting them soon. They sent us a Christmas card and we've bought them some presents for while they're staying here.

It does indeed, although ... the beam of the torch would be visible to everyone not just on the camera ... which leads us back to the original point as to whether the BB webcam is also shining a spotlight in the dark!

David that was exactly what I am struggling to understand. Because it did look as if the beam of light was moving with the camera as it moved round. Why wouldn't the whole picture look as bright as the central spot?

None the wiser I'm afraid!
