Tempest Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 A wonderful first ever week on Moonlight Shadow is now complete and we are home. We love the home mooring, the Brooms staff who were brilliant..(Thanks Norman for your efforts), the people, the places and the time we spent with our beloved Newfies Roxy and Yogi. Both are now glaring at us, as home just isn't the broads! We are now looking forward to our next visit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Looking forward to our next trip on Moonlight Shadow from 22nd February until 29th February. If any members are around that week, by all means give us a wave or come over for a chat and see Roxy and Yogi We are only intending to stay south on this trip and probably going to head towards the Oulton Broad and Beccles area and no doubt we will have a customary "overnighter" at one of our favourites which is the Ferry House, Surlingham either early doors or later in the week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob88 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Absolutely love that stretch of river. One of my big regrets when we moved the boat north. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 I recently lost my mum to cancer (november) and my parents introduced us to the broads when we were very young and they have been coming to the area, as have I and my brother since then. I do recall we used to use Ernest Collins and Jack Powles at Wroxham to hire our boats back then. (late 70s and early 80s) Well after much encouragement, we have got my dad to agree to come with us on Moonlight Shadow for the week on 22nd Feb, and as he generally has been a Northern Broads dweller, we have decided to give him a bit of a tour of the Southern Broads so our loose plans are as follows: Saturday - Rockland St Mary Sunday - Reedham Monday - Beccles Tuesday - Oulton Broad Wednesday - Loddon Thursday - Surlingham Ferry Inn Friday - back to base We will have lots of stop offs in between and it is all weather dependant, but this is what we have planned for the week and I will try and post some photos and give an update as we go, but hopefully Dad will enjoy the experience and it will help to get him out of the house for a week and to an area which has been much loved by us all and holds many fond memories as a family, as individuals and with my mother. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Sorry to hear about your Mum’s passing. I’m sure your Dad will appreciate the time with you and the pace of the Broads (well, it’s not exactly peaceful this afternoon, but you don’t get weather like today’s on the Broads that often). We had a week on the Broads the week after my Mam’s funeral in July 2017, and it so helped. Helen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Thanks Helen, I hope you are nice and safe tucked up in the mooring, but soon be able to venture out I have no doubt it will help Dad immensely We have lots of trips this year to look forward to as we had already booked a hire boat before we bought our shares, so thought we may as well keep the hire boat as well So lots of opportunities and really looking forward to 2020 as out trips are currently as follows and there may be more! Moonlight Shadow 22nd Feb (7 days) Crystal Horizon from Richardsons 6th April (11 days) Moonlight Shadow 27th June (7 days) Moonlight Shadow 12th Sept (7 days) Moonlight Shadow 21st Nov (7 days) Our Newfies will be with us on each trip and Dad has agreed to come in Feb and I hope he comes later in the year, and my son and his girlfriend will be with us in September as we bring the Broads to the next generation You take care and all the very best.

YnysMon Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 LOL. That’s what I do too! Remind myself how good the Broads are (not that I need reminding, but any excuse). Have a good week. Hopefully the weather will behave itself, and the heating! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 First day complete and now on Moonlight Shadow chilling with the dogs, a glass of wine and watching nonsense Saturday TV as we chat Picked my dad up at 7am and by 9.30 we were at Ivy's Farm having breakfast. My dad and I had a small breakfast whilst Julie went for jam on toast. We arrived at Brooms around midday and by 1pm we had loaded the boat We then went for a drive, stopping at Latham's, Potter Heigham, Tesco at Stalham to fill the car and we picked up some brochures from Richardsons and Herbert Woods as Dad loves to research the boats. We got back to Moonlight Shadow around 4pm and after taking the dogs for a walk we went to the Yare for a few drinks and food We loved it, as Roxy and Yogi were welcomed, the food was wholesome and the staff and customers first class We then walked back to our moorings to settle down for the evening 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 The wind has dropped slightly and the sun is now out Meeting friends at the Ferry House, Surlingham for Sunday lunch This is our mooring for the evening and even though the signs state Stern on mooring only, we were kindly told we could side on due to the winds which are still quite strong (gusts of 45mph) but are due to slacken during the afternoon and evening 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
