A Winters Tale

Friday 7th December

Waking up to a wet and very windy morning at Langley, as you'd expect a wind which pinned me against the bank.20181207_084928.thumb.jpg.b25271920d638c2d100e4d0b489ef51d.jpg20181207_084934.thumb.jpg.60a7ea845671cd849eae4adc9042e60a.jpg

I took the dog out for a quick comfort break before returning to make a coffee and have a look over the forum.

I really wasn't sure what to do today, the weather was pretty grim and the tide was still incoming so heading off down towards Reedham meant fighting the tide in the rain. Instead after another coffee or two I took the dog out for a walk.

We headed up to have a look at the state of play on the River Yare20181207_095037.thumb.jpg.a2286f223c6698389e720a0405ec99db.jpg before returning back along the moorings again 20181207_095027.thumb.jpg.07824e60841c0fe2b3d20e711798c778.jpg

And then headed out to the roadway. Strange how different the pathway looks and feels when you can see it in daylight 20181207_100001.thumb.jpg.4ab2800892c43fa031bc6c4c01c8be6d.jpg

We headed up for a slow walk to the Beauchamp Arms along the roadway 20181207_100228.thumb.jpg.abedf2b22d4bd56204d3a5bb371b67e5.jpg

And popped into Langley Abbey Car Park20181207_101019.thumb.jpg.b7dd929c6f37927f4353a7a6364e27e1.jpg20181207_101016.thumb.jpg.54ca0d5debb2ed56661e57b73ed87f19.jpg

Just for a quick look around. Even in wet cold weather the views are beautiful 20181207_101032.thumb.jpg.39dd419ff18f45c9baae996acaabc744.jpg

With it being 1010, it dawned on me that the pub doesn't open until 1200 which meant faffing around until it opened up, and so I decided to head back the way we had come back to the boat. 

I passed my neighbour along the way, and he seemed to be a really nice bloke as we passed complimentary hello's as we walked past each other.

See, don't judge people.

When I got back to the boat I began the arduous task of leaving the mooring fighting the wind, assistance would have been handy, but your hair does look beautiful babe :default_icon_kiss:.

Everything was fine though, and it was then

off up the Dyke, and then a right turn down the Yare as the rain really kicked up. My head did retain its position out of the helm roof window as always however.

It was 1200 by the time I passed Cantley Sugar Factory 20181207_115903.thumb.jpg.f5e60dfffd05a81ada153f3e8e7da4a2.jpgand then continuing on down the Yare through Reedham20181207_122635_001.thumb.jpg.03ef2efee32782b35cd9e3d582f8d0f8.jpg20181207_122717.thumb.jpg.b84bb288a482f51d03945d908be56c70.jpg20181207_122818.thumb.jpg.e2bf7479b6aa3fb1c5e1bfd65372673b.jpg20181207_124456.thumb.jpg.f640263ebcb1becffd9ca0068ad300ff.jpgand then off down the New Cut20181207_130504.thumb.jpg.124aa7ae1325232ea819b3e498aa215a.jpg20181207_132304.thumb.jpg.762a03b1d1251e57986fb40cd91eaeec.jpgbefore turning left and finally grabbing an ebbing tide as I travelled up through St Olaves, just as the sun decided to come out

20181207_141904.thumb.jpg.cb7e237566fe88a65474eee35084201f.jpg

Once I had moored up it was obviously time to go for a walk and grab a beer, so ignoring the Bell

20181207_150717.thumb.jpg.5dc858094b077d2c13d55833175049a8.jpg

We headed up towards Fritton in the late afternoon sunshine (finally)20181207_151622.thumb.jpg.b5e3d2e99e4b4c7208818b4d4042a7c1.jpg20181207_152125.thumb.jpg.66b121cfd574dfabaee5549ac95ac368.jpg

and there was no arguments about walking along the sodden country trail beside the main road in heels at all :default_icon_liar:

Like no one knew we was off for a walk and I chose everyone's footwear :default_smiley-angelic002:

After an (awful) beer we headed back to St Olaves, a quick nip back to the boat just to check everything was ok due to the awful wind 20181207_162856.thumb.jpg.2f1d7254546e35ad4e99d15b803cf88d.jpg

As the sun was setting20181207_163232.thumb.jpg.d8d8dacbe84268779e5ad8433d205898.jpg20181207_163240.thumb.jpg.8c34f9da183b03beade10269aae00404.jpg20181207_163453.thumb.jpg.67cd005e431f5fb12431fc6ba1ebd2c9.jpg

Everything being fine we walked back to the Bell at St Olaves and had a lovely evening chatting whilst the dog made herself comfortable

20181207_164908.thumb.jpg.28e9bfe5d403d004da4d201071caca31.jpgsitting beside the roaring fire was rather romantic :default_icon_luvlove:20181207_170852.thumb.jpg.e7d9979eb3cdd5755f7caf3e8dcd9c3e.jpgbut far too soon it was time to head back to the boat, down the little pathway. The photo below shows me walking with my phone torch turned on.

No one needs to mention me falling over drunkenly head first when I met the low wall that lines the bend of the pathway thinking I didn't need the torch turning on to find my way :default_biggrin:20181207_181409.thumb.jpg.8ea92e23e1b8865ea79c1ed554ceef0e.jpgbefore a lovely late night on board with wine and the best of company.

I was going to give you this one unobscured but seeing as you made light work of the last two, I'm being hard on you all...

Once again get it too quick and I'll make it harder :default_biggrin:20181207_153112.thumb.jpg.495c58c0fa52546671101bc6430d1c00.jpg

Is this far too hard for you all? Should I make it easier for you now??? :default_rofl:

Honesty is my forte Miss D 

A fat dumb balding ape who by the looks of things, has everyone eating out of his palm.

Do you wanna eat from me Miss D? Is that why you are trying to be so nasty? :default_smiley-angelic002:

You know that's what people do at school, treat those they secretly want with false abuse :default_rofl:

Can you remember school Miss D??? :default_biggrin:

Okay I'll give you until the morning to sort this one out and then I'll show it unobscured.  This is Number 1

Number 2 so you have something easy to think about whilst you try and work out number 1 (And specify which one you are answering please)

Deffo the cute puppy! Lapdog? Maybe. I could stroke your head, fondle your ears and tickle your tummy. Leastways that’s what I do with my dogs! I’ve just thought, it’s the collar and lead you really want isn’t it? I didn’t know you were in to that sort of thing!! :51_scream:
