Much as I love Broadstone's for something to eat way more than the King's Something-or-other in Ludham, I do love Womack Dyke or Womack Water for a mooring spot. Less challenging than the wind by the old bridge or a tight turn in Herbie Wood's yard. Looking forward to finding out where you went next Jay ... but please never apologise for not having posted. Updating social media is in my view most definitely not the point of being out on the Broads. #SingForJay Sorry Mrs SR, the kids are keeping me busy just now but I promise I'll reply properly soon. Keep the suggestions coming, I've got a song you'll love. I'll tell you soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Monday 31st December The last day of 2018 began for me in Acle under a slowly clearing sky. Once again the morning started with a coffee or two and then a walk with the dog along the riverside moorings and around the Bridge Inn. The dog didn't seem too bothered about walking too far this morning so once we returned to the boat, I set about preparing for the off. In actual fact is was almost 1100 hours before us at off, but the day was brightening up as I did so, and after backing out from the moorings, I set off along the Bure in the direction of Wroxham. I didn't have a particular destination in mind (go figure) but with New Years Eve celebrations likely to be kicking off, and me being alone, I thought Ranworth may offer a secluded spot to enjoy my own evening. As I arrived just before 1300 it looked like I may have been correct as there was only about 4 boats including myself. And so once moored up I took the dog off for a walk to the Ship Inn at South Walsham. After some light refreshments we walked back to the staithe and, not really being one to be bothered about New Year festivities began to unwind on-board for the evening. As the night went on a number of boats arrived and by around 2100 the staithe was almost full and a few parties began to break out. I took the dog for another short stroll, noting that The Maltsters was also full. But for me it was a return to the boat to see in the New Year with the little lady until well into the early hours.
