We will drink to a Merry Christmas but even better a perfect New Year, weather wise and health wise. Hope everyone has a fantastic time and Santa delivers all that is requested. Roll on the better weather , already the days are getting long (so they tell me). All the best.

Thank you very much for letting me know, only I have an elderly neighbour whom I happened to mention it to and he was so distressed as it could have been his old pal that I had to check up as to which Harbour Master we were referring to. I can now go and let him know but that was just personal to himself. We still cannot get over such a sad loss.

Can you clarify something for me please. Today I was asked was Mike the recent Harbour Master or was he the previous Harbour Master. I dont think I have worded that very well but you know what I mean. Thank you.

Such sad news and such a perfectly wonderful man. All our thoughts are with his family.

Fantastic - hope they do well. The more yards the better as they are very few and far between on the southern rivers.

Thank goodness for that Diesel Falcon as ours is head height. Was just going to tell other half may be it ought to be lower but will leave well alone then.

All you need first thing in the morning trolling through that lot. Thank you for removing them.

According to the local news a Black Widow Spider has been found in Norfolk along with her nest and hundreds of spiderlings. Now where did we put those conkers!!!!!!

Here we go again - my goodness me there a lot of them. Someone has obviously found that dreaded can opener again and opened up the tin of Spam.

Thank you very much for the in depth explanation - some of us need a little more help and it is appreciated - now been through all messages and deleted most of them.

How do you delete pm's please?

I tried yesterday to order a brochure on line. Every time I got to the bottom of the form you fill in it diverted to some odd page. Anyone else had this problem? Since writing the above - have tried again and was successful but boy does it wipe its feet on every move it makes.

Funny enough that thought crossed my mind. Bit strange all three or was it four messages all within a minute of each other.

Oh now you dont - dont give in. I am ready for the next season. May not have that many left in the tank one never knows. You cannot beat the Broads. I have a 92 year Mum who is in a care home with Alzheimers, no memory of anything, does not know any of us. Had a wonderful life, recalls nowt. What I would give to see my mum laugh again and enjoy the Broads. Never ever give up. We have a wonderful life us boat owners. Make the most of every moment.

Thank you I have kept that link.

Oh you were moored there at that time as well. I sometimes wonder if some people have taken a bet on how quickly they get up the Ant or is it that the beer has been poured already and waiting for them at the pub in Stalham. Some come whizzing past Irstead as if their life depended upon it.

Can I ask if anyone knows of any organised firework displays South or North Broads for this Saturday?

Dont get me wrong I can get very smiffy including hubby if someone appears to be completely out of control and thundering towards our pride and joy but as hubby has pointed out to me on many occasion , he/she didnt do it deliberately you know they just dont get the proper training for difficult conditions. Avoiding 24 hour moorings in the popular spots and mooring in the trees helps most of the time. At least mainly your only invaders are mozzies and spiders.

Gosh you all make it sound like the dodgems at the fair. Dont think it is anywhere near as bad as you make out. 99% of folk do their utmost to moor as best they can and accidents do happen. I cannot imagine anyone gets up in the morning and says - oh I wonder who I can literally bump into today.

I have an old Nokia likewise other half. Only use it to make or receive calls/texts which is what it is for. As long as it keeps going will not change it, must be a good 12 years old and yes the same sim. Built to last as with all older products. Bit like us really.

We are with Orange and 9 times out of 10 you get a signal except for Horning which by all accounts is in a different universe to the rest of the country. Can never see why there should be no signal in certain parts of Horning. By the way the Orange can also be T mobile and now we have EE on the mobile.

Have calmed down now. Have taken your thoughts on board. Thank you everybody.

?So to worry is to be sneared at. Last time I post on here.

I know I am a worrier but having children myself albeit grown up with little uns of their own I still worry that they will slip and fall in. kids do not see the danger. Like others I think the parents were a bit daft to leave them alone on the boat.

Yep thats me - you should ask my hubby he will tell you I worry about everything. Well someone's got to.
