Glorious indeed and not just in the summer.
Is this Johnny Crowes Staithe?

Best time of the day on the boat or at home.

Good to see that I am not the only one who cannot sleep. I seem to see 4.30 more and more often. Definitely looks like Norwich to me.

Free as I went past earlier, but far too muddy to consider stopping! 🫤
I recall one October half term holiday time mooring there with the family and when I stepped off it was like stepping into a bowl of porridge. I can assure you no one else attempted it and I struggled to release my shoes from the mud and get back on board. Yes it can be tricky after a lot of rain but glorious in the summer months.

I didn't know there used to be a sign saying that. So hire boats had to turn by the Rising Sun?
Yes they did and it wasn't that long ago. We have yet to venture up beyond where the sign originally was but hope to in May next year.

I dont want you to go home. It has been such fun hearing all of your trips. So pleased the boat has behaved itself. You are a good advert for Bridgecraft. Stay safe both of you and have a wonderful Christmas and an even better New Year. Will you be back in 2024?

Good old easterly blowing tonight. Hang on to your hat. Is it me or is the flooding of the fields at Potter getting worse.
I stand corrected , Management here tells me that it was a South Westerly and not an Easterly. Just as well and may be the Broads will start to recover.

If we had that much snow the whole country would be at a standstill, schools closed , no trains. People told to stay at home.

I have heard of a pub with no beer but now we have beers and no pubs. Do you think making people pay for that mooring has killed off the trade, final nail in the coffin so to speak?

I see Malsters has closed its doors for good now. Such a shame.

How long are you here for this time Howard? At least the weather is a tad milder now.

Did think of you today with this gale blowing. So pleased you are safely across. Was it rough? Yes you have always been able to get water at Stracey, and long may it remain so. Always was a bit slow and you had to pay up front and it ran for a certain amount of time. Now saying that , that was when Tony owned the shop , not too sure about the new owners. Probably just the same. I did notice that the shop and house was up for sale, not sure if it completed. May be someone else on here will know, I would like to know as plan to visit in May next year.

Good grief, what's this yellow stuff??
I know, dont faint. It is a joke this weather. Blue Sky here and the one night the Space Station isnt visible here it isnt thick cloud. Where are you now.

On a lighter note, my Mum who passed at 96 , she was in Care at this time , as had Alzheimers, when she was at home prior to all this and she was ok up to a point, she would repeatedly turn off the freezer for some reason defrosting it. Well she decided one day to take out some pork chops unbeknown to us and they defrosted and my sister asked her if she was having them that evening, she replied yes, well what we did not know that said pork chops were put back in the freezer (I can hear the gasps now) and then she promptly took them out again, defrosted them and cooked them, and survived. Makes you wonder. She also got to the stage where she would ask - who are you, which is so upsetting and would not even have my husband in the room, breaks your heart.
Under the bed in the spare room when we cleared the house we found 38 jars of jam from the 70s. It was solid.
You have my sympathy it is all thankless task and really takes it out of you because for some reason , why I dont know , we all feel so guilty about it but we do.

Booking ahead so the crowds ahead of you don't take up all the space 🙂?
Booking ahead I should imagine to make sure that that Yacht Station hasn't been closed along with everything else. Long way to go to find it shut. I just wish the web cam was still up and running on The Wherry. Oh for the good old days.

We have woken up to snow up here in Donny - The first time in years. Its the proper stuff too, not that much, only about two inches but it is definitely snow. Purdey dog is now 3 1/2 and this is the first time she has experienced it. Her first walk today will be interesting

Have fun.

When we last moored there, there was a huge tree at one end and another down the back end of the mooring. Have they chopped them down, you used to be able to get shade in the summer. Not my photo but the only one I can find.
