see you this afternoon ,whoo whooooo

so this is it ,the day has finally arrived ,in a matter of hours we shall be on our way home , looking forward to meeting some of you.

the bit that really ticks me off is the fact that they don't care,ans the scumbags see cycle crime as " victimless ". i couldn't do something like that .

thankyou ,our holiday won't be spoiled, and i shall certainly pass on your regards to my dear wife.

you know there really are some horrible people in this world , the goodladyand i decided to pop along to our local supermarket for some bits for tea , we locked our cycles up as always outside , did our bit of shopping which took about 10 minutes , only to come out and find ourr bikes missingand the remains of our lock lying on the ground, not happy is an understatement , we have contacted Mr Plod, and thankfully got a crime reference number for insurance purposes . not what i wanted this evening i can assure you

Mmmmmmmm Cake.

Grace i will do my absolute best to get it done the instant i get home , however i may need a cuppa first , it's quite a train ride from Norwich to Peterborough, and like good wine i don't travel well. as for not sleeping this evening, you're absolutely right . stay safe

a full day by day report will be made once we return home, maybe even a few piccies if i can work out how to do it

the good lady and i don't consider it to be "our holiday " unless we get wet at least once

i'm sorry i know i keep going on about it but the excitement is killing me , the good lady is now on her way home from working her last shift , the bag is ready , only tomorrow left and then we'll be on our way

just less than 70 hours before we get on the train to Norwich, a new thing for us this year to be included in the boat bag, a first aid kit. after my Mum hurt herself last year we are taking no risks this time out.

Twenty pounds ! my god in heaven , i don't want shares in the place .

can't see a problem with an early start to be honest

that was the reason i asked , there are two moored there at the moment

question. can you moor at these after 5pm when the pilot goes home ?

not annoyed at all old bean , we haven't booked it yet ,thanks for the heads up

Crown Gem 4 from Richardsons'

Right then a question has arisen in our home , it won't be long ( this time next week ) that we shall be on our way to Stalham to start our holiday , the good lady and i were sat talking last night over a very nice glass of Apple mead about next May , and should we have another week or should we have ten days instead , seemed a bit silly to ask me as i was doing ten days long before she had finished asking the question. You see the first time we hired a boat we did a four day trip , and it was fantastic , then we took my Mum away for a four day trip , , last year in may we had a week , followed in October with another four day trip , i felt like i had been pumped out , just got started and had to go back , so we have two week this year May and September , and next year , the first of the ten day trips . it really astounds me how quickly we went from four days to ten . stay safe , see some of you next week

Cake and fudge! Oooh , save me some

we are on our 5th holiday, our second full week and the first of two this year , , when we first came in 2015 it was raining stair rods , we both got soaked as we walked down to the boatyard , by the time we got there we were both giggling like 6 year olds , then came the " will we like it or won't we "? , we did , even though we did get soaked , as far as my dear wife is concerned " it wouldn't be our holiday if we didn't get rained on at least once ". fell in love with the Broads, daft as it sounds it feels like we are coming home .

welcome aboard , we hope you enjoy your stay .

howdy doody Carol . welcome aboard .

it's about this time of year i have to start to take the " calm down dear " bottle of rum , as we are now entering the final week before our trip , i say final week as by this time next week my dear wife will be counting the minutes until she finishes work , then home to pack the " wheelie case " for the trip to Stalham via Norwich , Wroxham, Horning, and Ludham. We got bargains with out Train tickets , less than £55 for two returns , so we were well pleased with that .bus from Norwich is about £4 each , then into the "Cherry Blossom Cafe" in Stalham for our " becoming a tradition " sausage roll and cuppa , before the gentle sprint to Richardsons' boat yard, then into reception , i don't know why i am writing all of this down actually, i'm sure some of you, or even most of you, get this same feeling , we are looking forward to meeting some of you at Salhouse on the Friday, and may well meet some of you in Richardsons' reception. Suffice to say " WE CAN'T WAIT " ! stay safe, see you soon.

the mind truly boggles , doesn,t it . beyond belief really

thats nasty but quite funny at the same time
