Thanks Ray and Jean. We have been at Acle Marina for coming up to four years now and are very happy there. Very convenient for the amenieties on site and in the Village. Also good transport road/rail links on the doorstep.

Decided just to stay at our moorings for the weekend. Just being able to stay on board overnight again is great. Very peaceful end to the day on board Lady Emma..... Lady Emma by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Looking forward to it

My day (yesterday) was an enjoyable water soaked day of cleaning Lady Emma's outside bits After over two months of not being able to attend her needs and seemingly used as target practice for the seagulls, she certainly needed a good scrub! Six hours or so later, she was looking a lot better.

My Mother In Laws Doctor passed away at the weekend. He was 84 years of age and still working till he got the virus.There was a big funeral procession today in Clacton for him and it was covered by Look East news.His Wife who is a Nurse also had it but she has since recovered thankfully. Ivy (MIL) is 99 years young and in a nursing home now, We have decided not to tell her as she held him in such high regard and we don't want her upset. He had been Ivy's Doctor for the last 45 plus years and looked after her husband when he was dying. I'm pretty sure there isn't a person on here who doesn't know someone who is fighting this virus. We are living in very strange times, I hope and pray that these times improve for all across the world.

Today was spent at the cat rescue taking some photos of the kittens.... It's a hard job but somebody's got to do it Roar like a lion by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr EY7P3130-Edit by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr EY7P3145-Edit by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr EY7P3122-Edit by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Yeah but South Queensferry has three (well two really now) iconic bridges lol!

Cheers Andy......practice makes perfect

My yearly visit to Knockhill for the British Touring Car Championship is my main excursion after being on the boat/broads.

Snetterton and Brands Hatch usually feature on my yearly motor sport fix!

All makes sense to me

My Dad also has COPD. He is 73 this month and his breathing and number of times he gets a chest infection is gradually getting worse. He often comes out with me on the boat but he now avoids it when it’s cold and damp as it does not help his condition. Hoping some good spring warm and dry weather will be with us soon so he can again enjoy some boating on the Broads. Wishing everyone who has COPD all the best for many more healthy days than down days.

The low alcohol version is on tap at the Bridge and isn't a bad drop either......For when one is wanting to stay upright of course

I not long ago sent a picture of our boat for him to update the library image on his database. Had a nice conversation with him via email. A sad loss indeed. Condolences to all that knew him.

It's only the one night a week that I stay on board as it's convenient for my work. To be honest, Ros probably enjoys it more, getting some peace and quiet from me for that one night
