    We with our wellies at the door. Candles and matches to the fore. Torches charged. Cans of soup ready. Then, in the morning  I wake up expecting to see devastation, trees down, fences down.  Nothing. Birds singing, dogs being walked. Horses trotting down the lane. A normal day in Norfolk.

     

    How very true - thank goodness.

  2. Hope you are both ok and getting back up North.   Weather Saturday and Sunday does not look good at all with weather warnings.   that's all we need more rain.

    Spells of rain, some heavy, will push east across most areas through Saturday and Sunday. Some disruption is likely. - Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely - Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer - Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer - Some interruption to power supplies.

  4. Hello Mr and Mrs Howard,  you little devils you certainly snuck in and I missed you arriving.      Gosh doesn't seem long ago we were reading all about your exciting exploits.       I was just looking at Herby Woods web cam and happened to see folk getting on their boats, one guy in wait for it ,  T-shirt and shorts.   Have I missed something, we have the heating going full blast.      I know in some areas it is half term and the ankle biters will be out in their droves.  :default_gbxhmm:        Have a lovely time and got to ask how long are you here for this time?

  5. I am sure that the moorings will be fine and the whole system run well.     Totting it up now a week on board you dont arf need a load of cash or can you pay by card now in most places.         What with mooring fees, pub meals etc, pump outs, water.     It is certainly not a cheap holiday.  :facepalm:

    Easy to say, bit different when it's 8 oafs from a rough estate somewhere, who would welcome a bit of a punch up to liven up their hols! 

    How true!!

    I really hope all this works out for you, but lets just say that you Pre book your mooring and turn up towards late evening. Another boat, be it hire boat or whatever is in your spot. They refuse to move. You phone up the landowner, are they really going to come out to sort this all out? Probably not. The landowner refunds your money. How often will this happen before it turns into a right chore for the land owner.

    I am not trying to be negative on this, but unfortunately this is the society we have found ourselves living in nowadays.

    I suppose the on the positive side, being a mooring with NO facilities, it will limit the type of person that it attracts and therefor the number of boats     

    Moor along side of it , if it was that late and put on some loud music with plenty of base on it.   Then when they want to leave , take forever to leave in your time,  may be later that afternoon.      Oh I would love to be a fly on the wall.    :default_hiding:

  8. Sorry if been asked before but, where are the moorings,  up the end of the dyke where the 24hr mooring used to be or down at the entrance.   Darn long walk along that grass path to the bins if it is at the entrance.     Mind you , are the bins still there?

     

  9. James Hoseason was a lovely chap.     A one off and really cared.      We had a bit of bother with a booking when going to the Caledonian Canal back in the day and when we arrived there was a box of chocolates waiting for me.     Can you imagine that now.
