We had a very good lunch in the Swan , but no real ale due to a failed delivery 😢, had to make do with Guinness , since moved on and now moored up at Neateshead staithe , guess I will have to sample The White Horse later to make up for lunchtimes deprivation

Is a traditional village pub , excellent ales , good honest food and great company . Currently due to ill health food is only available on Friday / Saturday and some Wednesdays so if looking for food best to ring them first

We are up for the weekend , Friday we arrived late as Katie was covering at work , managed to make the Crown Catfield for 20:30 for dinner , back on board and unloaded by 22:30 . Saturday chilly but sunny , poodled up to Ranworth , taxi rank sadly occupied so moored up adjacent to them in the side dyke , had a peaceful day and by dusk there were 10 boats moored up , dinner was on board and delivered by Acle Spice , good value and abundant but surprisingly, given the name of the establishment , totally lacking in spice. Left the staithe at 09:30 and tried our luck at Horning , now moored at our favoured spot next to the Swan moorings

Brilliant Band At Oulton Broad Every Weds
CambridgeCabby replied to Pusseycat doll's topic in Events & What's On
Katie and I can certainly confirm this , we spent a hilarious afternoon in there with Pusseycat and crew , and the huge added bonus is that The Waveney is the cheapest drinks of any hostelry on the Broads- 1 reply

The rapid change over to online shopping which was fuelled by the covid pandemic , which IMO accelerated its growth by at least 20 years , means the High Street in thousands of towns and cities has changed forever . We see an abundance of food outlets , charity shops , betting shops and pop up shops where once a household name traded , on every street corner in cities we see chain coffee shops the days of colourful vibrant streets with stores offering their wares have all but gone with a few niche streets reminding us of “the good old days”.

Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow...
CambridgeCabby replied to YnysMon's topic in Holiday Tales & Blogs
We had a delivery whilst moored on Horning staithe from Waitrose a couple of weeks ago , we ordered it when we moored up in the afternoon for between 0800 and 0900 the next morning it arrived at 0815 -
I would normally go for the fish and chips

Before we get into a he said , she said argument on here , irrespective of any prior history involving the anglers or the boat owner , the behaviour of the anglers as shown on the video falls far short of what one would or should expect . As our Chairman has politely requested please can we stay inside the TOS when posting on this matter edited to add , my posting obviously crossed over that of Grendels and I share his sentiments
-
Wondered why we had not “bumped into you “ lately , hope you’re both well and that we will see you afloat soon
-
If a boat owner pays monthly it will show as unpaid , best not to assume please
-
The vast majority of anglers we have encountered over the years have been very good in moving to allow us to moor up , in fact in 30+ years we have only had issues twice , we often offer the anglers (once we have moored) a cuppa as do many other boaters . The Broads ARE on the whole a friendly sociable place , idiots like those in the video are rare .

Before we bought Cerise Lady we looked at quite a few Elysians and the majority had sea toilets fitted as opposed to holding tanks , many were also petrol engines which if you are intending to use on the Broads can be problematic as there are no petrol fuel suppliers on the Broads network
