A Spring Tale


Guest

Recommended Posts

Right firstly an apology guys n girls 

As mentioned at the start of the day, yesterday I was feeling miserable, a mix of lack of sleep, recent events and feeling generally yucky led me to return to base and go to sleep, so sorry for being a grumpy numpty.

(The name btw was an inside joke, I shall leave it there)

I shall update soon. Sorry all

Tuesday 5th June

Arriving in Brundall, car unpacked, dog taken for a quick walk under the cloudy sky and  gentle breeze, the Sun was threatening to fight through and a good afternoon was looking promising

20180605_124523.thumb.jpg.b788334d4f306056f13b495efc039634.jpg

Once everything was sorted it was time for a quick trip down to a near deserted Cantley and the Reedcutter for a well deserved :default_smiley-angelic002: and much needed pint.

After another brisk walk it was off to Reedham Ferry, 20180605_141136.thumb.jpg.ff4b0b6769bf3bd7e6699adf9d690836.jpgwhich was busy in the now bright sunshine,

Just for all you people working hard at work, here is my view as I lay back in just my little shorts :default_rofl:

Reedcutter, JF? ((ok, I'm wrong with the guess, but thank GOODNESS you're back as JF...XX)

I'm fine, thank you for even asking tho, considering you have "something" going on from your side, but it's got nothing to do with me.... There are two of us, both covering whenever one of us goes off so...

Holiday. 1 day at work.  Bank Holiday.  Then op....My day was hitting the ground running. So it's been "busy" xx

Wednesday 6th June

After finally waking up in Brundall after my mammoth sleep, coffee beckoned me as we were sitting in the boat enjoying the scenery.

20180606_120612.thumb.jpg.ce4c160f185bce10c825479e08680e56.jpg

It was fairly late for me, usually an early riser, and the dog began to give me the eyes.

No not those eyes, she pretty much demanded that we were going for a walk right there, right then.

20180606_120627.thumb.jpg.ea7cfddf6c277016e0ab7e8d64afe307.jpg

So in the lovely sunshine we had a good walk around Brooms and Brundall.

It occurred to me that after yesterday (and the fact I only had a couple of days left) I wasn't all that happy about taking the boat out solo for a reoccurance of yesterday to happen mid river, and to struggle to return the boat safely.

Therefore it looks like a car trip around the locality this time until I return in August for mammoth cruises and the rest of the "enthralling" tales I usually "delight" you all with :default_smiley-angelic002:

(Yes I know I am driving a car around, but it is much easier to pull over safely in a car than ditch a boat into the nearest back garden, explaining "sorry mate just felt a bit off it, shame about the lawn and all but everyone wants a boat shaped wedge in their pristine garden these days")

Anyway, excuses out of the way, the dog satisfied we headed out in the lovely sunshine, and popped into Rockland where we had a walk and a lovely shandy overlooking (kinda) the Staithe which was busy other than the electric moorings.

20180606_123710.thumb.jpg.3bb6d8f0e536f4a8428d98212cfb737e.jpg

 After a snoop around, and a chat to the locals about all things dog related the pooch and I headed off towards Loddon.

Parking up in The Swan we enjoyed a coke in the garden, before tiring of a group of men talking nonsense in the corner, so via a visit to the Staithe

20180606_142510.thumb.jpg.c249a3ad4dca3f4c8f853ed80c90b1c3.jpg

20180606_142550.thumb.jpg.f1325f50568d8bf32ea7cfbff276f0b4.jpg

we headed to The White Horse in Chedgrave (my favourite when the sun is out in the Loddon area) for a pint in the sunshine

20180606_143356.thumb.jpg.aa30d89a8178399923f03c55a0f1208b.jpg

Note the usual pub tables and benches.

The kind everyone is used to and knows so well..... yeah well I fell off the back whilst messing around.

I did get a nice piccie from my lower vantage point as I enjoyed the comfortable floor though

20180606_143846.thumb.jpg.cd2dbc15add1fecd1e47ed2f27f010e2.jpg

After a relaxing drink, the mini beast was giving me the eyes again...

20180606_144041.thumb.jpg.8044c70f883081a4609e3a3714444db4.jpg

So we began to make a move

20180606_150646.thumb.jpg.74dc3dc568f3dba0b2d070510c18b3e9.jpg

heading back to the boat for a bit of PT around the Brundall streets and then  catching some rays laid with the roof down,

20180606_161850.thumb.jpg.50728d5d150365fc0059732e70d33fc1.jpg

enjoying the sunshine

20180606_192224.thumb.jpg.91be364491c7b77a0e039adcbe0d5843.jpg

and a glass or two of wine whilst enjoying some wonderful company as always

20180606_194919.thumb.jpg.103cb976f9b90b0db8c6bbb6fe0feed6.jpg

before taking out the beast for a walk and then settling down for the night for another well needed snooze.

Thanks everyone

That once happened to us, in a really busy beer garden. We were both sitting on the same side...glad nobody videoed it as we could have been headlining "You've Been Framed". How embarrassing...

Did you fall on top of each other? Because If you did, I am wondering if this was a simple accident.

I am innocent as all I had was my dog and my nuts

20/20 vision in my left eye, Grace. Can't be a bad thing...been wearing specs since I was 13.  Anyway, enough about that. How are you? Everything OK at yours?
