I have to say that I’d never seen the roads as empty as they were that day. We were on the Broads that week, got the news Sundày morning outside Rockland New Inn. It felt so wrong driving home the following Saturday we pulled into a lay by on the A12 behind an Eastern Counties bus and listened to the funeral on the radio.

kpnut Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Pleased I spotted you this morning Helen. I had looked up slack time at G. Yarmouth and thought you’d probably pass me between 8 and 8.30, which you did. Id opened the curtains and had meant to keep a better watch and been ready to take a photo, but I was brought a cup of tea in bed (sofa bed) and sort of forgot! It was just luck I looked out at that precise moment! Glad to hear you safely got over and moored up. Are you north again next week or staying closer to base?

YnysMon Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 We think we'll stay south next week. I like the Breydon crossing, but it does take time, and we only have four days. Don't tell Graham, but I have a hankering to visit a fabric shop in Norwich. I already own too much fabric, so will try not to buy much, if anything, but when you rely on buying online mostly, the opportunity to actually feel fabric is a bonus. Buying fabric online is a bit of a gamble, you can't really judge the weight or feel of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZimbiIV Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Jill's favourite is the one in Taverham garden centre. I expect we call in on the way to Horning next Monday. Well it is nearly cheaper than divorce anyway. paul Ps. We going in her car mine has too small a boot to visit otherwise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Just started out on our way back to Oulton Broad, having watched the Queen's funeral services at home. I thought the service from Windsor was particularly moving. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same especially after the Queen's coffin was lowered into the chapel vault and you could see that King Charles was fighting to compose himself when the National Anthem was sung. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I guess the reality must have hit, he was unsure at the start of the service about sitting in the monarch's chair instead of his usual position in the front row. I saw Edward confirming he should. It must have been extremely difficult for the family to grieve with so much coverage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the emotional pressure and grief, I would think it's also been very physically demanding time with all those trips around the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I agree the king did look exhausted, likewise the queen consort who looked to be beset with nerves. After the punishing schedule they had both endured in recent days it was hardly surprising. I doubt they have had a single relaxed moment since the Queen's passing. I couldn't maintain the stamina to do half of what they have done. My admiration knows no bounds. Carole 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Currently at Beccles. We need a pump out, but Hippersons advised that they are too busy with day boats until late morning. At least the wait has given me time to pop up to the butcher's and Tesco's. Once we get our pump out, we'll be heading all the way back downriver to the New Cut.

YnysMon Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 After a fairly long cruising day we are nicely tucked up in Langley Dyke and, even better, our neighbours are Neil and Karen on Lightning (we seem to have been following each other around this fortnight) and Paul and his wife on Peter's Joy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 We got up early and started off around 7 again this morning. Hope we didn't disturb the crews of Lightning and Peter's Joy too much. It's been a lovely cruise into Norwich. I have one grumble...where is the promised sunshine? At last it's not raining though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
