A Summer's Tale

I hate to interfere in my own game Mr Nog but under my rules, what my baby Grace says, goes.

My life is so much easier that way. She has a temper you know :default_hiding:

So well done gorgeous Grace :default_trophy:

Wednesday 1st August

An easy relaxed day today began in the beautiful sunshine, which only brightened and strengthened as the day went on.

Yes I am burnt already :facepalm:

Doing the usual morning duties, tidying the boat, sorting breakfast, walking the dog, disposing of rubbish etc, I had a coffee whilst the kids pondered where we would head today.

Setting off just before 1030 :default_ohmy: we headed down the River Waveney with the tide for a pleasant morning cruise.

We passed a fair amount of boats on our way, day boats, hire boats and the odd gin palace too.

Winding our way along the bends of the River it was so hot I had to whip off my top and catch a few rays :default_biggrin:

Eventually we found ourselves at Beccles, expecting the yacht station to be extremely busy, in fact it was only half full and the riverside moorings were almost empty.

Taking the opportunity I moored up on the South Bank moorings next to the road bridge at around 1230 and began to prepare for a trip into Beccles for a few supplies.

After a trip into B&M and Tesco :facepalm:It seemed only right that I treat myself to a quick pint in the Wetherspoons Kings Head.

2 hours later we headed through Beccles back towards the boat, stopping off in a couple of the little shops for some of the kids own supplies. Mainly sweets and games :default_biggrin:

As we passed the bus stop it seemed only right we helped out The Bear and Bells, so doing my public duty we sat in the beer garden and I went to hand over my beer tokens at the bar.

We had a right good giggle about very random stuff, and I was able to have a chat with my gorgeous one whilst there for a while too.

After another drink we started to head off back to the boat calling in for one last drink in the Caxton ARMS (calm down Mr Nog), I'm not suitable for the Caxton Club apparently, says Mrs Nog.

Finally heading back the kids began to prepare some games as I headed down the Beccles Marsh Trail with the dog,20180801_182643.thumb.jpg.322b5690a11314e82888cb8aef979c7e.jpg20180801_182805.thumb.jpg.d048d9451e6c2f2dcc37d25017ec25b6.jpg

some lovely scenery and tree's hidden out of the way :default_smiley-angelic002:20180801_183358.thumb.jpg.335824395bb36a144d0f142300d6c1b6.jpg20180801_184032.thumb.jpg.52793d482fb0bb4f953db51d47f45384.jpg

A glass of wine (look closely) sat waiting as the sunset in case anyone happened to drop in :default_smiley-angelic002:

The rest of the evening was spent playing games with the kids and a little wine, exploding kittens and bananagrams, before we had tea, some lovely conversation and then bed, falling asleep much quicker than I had imagined.

I thought Howard had already said The Bear and Bells, but having reread it I see that he said he thought it wasn't. So i'll go with final answer The Bear and bells. :default_beerchug:

Hurrah, well done. It certainly was :default_trophy:

Much to my shame I'm struggling here JF 

Thought for a minute it might be the back yard of the Bear and Bells but it doesn't look right. 

Might have to consult Mrs Nog :default_norty:

Poor Howard, looks like we need to be a bit more definitive in our answers, leaving no margin for interpretation. :default_norty::default_rofl::default_beerchug:

Now as far as I can see Mr Nog talked himself out of saying the bear and bells so didn't get it right :default_biggrin:
