This Year's Holiday Vid - Sherz & Linz

[johnsherz]

Yeah there's no mistaking the sound of a Phantom taking off is there!

Smashing video.

Watched last night on the TV and what a pleasure it was. Superbly produced and edited and the first Broads film I've seen were the drone shots complimented rather than dominated the result. What really makes your films special though is the interaction between yourselves, your just a natural double act. Do we have to wait till 2018 for the next one?

Alas yes - affording one week a year is tight, let alone two hehe! When I was a kid in the 80s, my parents chose the Broads because it was a relatively cheap week's holiday, sadly that no longer seems to be the case... :)

we only manage the second one as we hijack our friends to come along for the experience, that way we can keep the costs down.

Hi John, 

We went on a narrow boat in 1974 it was £295.00 which included the fuel deposit for a 56 foot 10 berth boat with 6 of us on board. In 1974 this was very costly, I think you would have found a price on the Broads at a similar level.

These days the hire costs on the Broads is the cheapest of any other UK waterways.

Regards

Yes, I did look into canal boating a couple of years ago - living as we do in Stoke on Trent there's plenty of waterways nearby, but after looking at prices we soon realised that the Broads was still the best bet by far!

A cunning plan! Still trying to talk my folks into coming along one year...

Finally got round to watching your video, brilliant, well done.

Thanks for sharing.

Lovely vid!  As someone else has already said, what makes it really special is your 'double act'.  Your affection for each other really shines out.

Aye, we don't make a bad team I guess. Planning on asking her a fairly important question in the next month or two actually... ;)

[Gracie]

Aww, that's smashing, I reckon she'll say yes, you get each other, makes for a perfect match....... could this be our first Forum wedding??

Grace

[johnsherz]

We shall see eh! Hoping to get to Salhouse for a camping weekend in september, that's where we first became "official". 

 

[johnsherz]

She's not a member of this forum by the way, but keep it under your hat hehe... :)

[riyadhcrew]

I'll keep it under the bed and the stairs as well. 

[Broads01]

Good luck John. In the nicest possible way I hope Linz doesn't suddenly decide to join the forum now. Salhouse would be a brilliant location to ask the all important question. 

[YnysMon]

Aww...how romantic!  Hope the weather behaves itself in September.

Helen

[johnsherz]

Well for those of you still following this old thread...

We made it down to Salhouse on Monday with our tent, on the anniversary of our getting together. While sitting on a bench at the edge of the Broad, reminiscing about times gone by, I popped the question.

She said yes. :)
