In our house we have a sort of catch phrase ‘don’t go to the beach’ that we use whenever we think one of our sons, especially the eldest, will take too long returning from somewhere, that we use to tease them. Dates back to about 10 years ago when we were staying with my Mam in Holyhead and Harry took our dog Marvin out for his evening walk. They went a lot further than the normal evening walk to the park, compounded by getting lost in the back streets of Holyhead on the way home. It was getting on for midnight by the time they got back.

I’ve often wondered if other families adopt their own catch-phrases like we do.

A really lovely evening and great company. Great to see you both today. Selsie is asleep, think the malt has kicked in…

[YnysMon]

Sounds like you all had a great evening. Broads at their best…and Broads friends.

Glad you're having such a good time Sam. I think we may well be afloat sometime end of next week.  I'm beyond excited now  and can't wait. We haven't seen Hi-Jinks' new canopy yet but the boat tester tell us it's  really nice and as the making and fitting of it was supervised by Gary Applegate at Sheerline,  I'm sure it will be just right. We're just waiting to be craned in  now then we can put stuff on board that is destined for the boat but a bit risky for being  loaded prior to being craned. Incidently, for anyone who is looking for a reliable boat tester,  we've always used Tim Waters for boat testing and we were a bit dismayed to hear he'd retired.Gary recommended Gavin Ralph and after our experience with him would unhesitatingly  do so too. Give my regards to Womak, have a great weekend.

Looks like you are having a fabulous time! We passed you and Lulu (I think) yesterday as you were heading down towards Ludham bridge, we were aboard Bolero.

We did wave as we went past but I think you were tying ropes your better half looked a bit confused. 

My apologies, I didn’t realise it was you until I saw the name on the back - still keep looking for Nipper - plus I was too busy watching the boat rocking back and forth 🤔🤣

Kept it warm for you mid-week…

Left Ranworth at 10:00 this morning , I’m working tomorrow so intention was to have a quiet cruise and stop for lunch at Gayes , rivers very very busy !!

moored up at Gayes abs we have decided to leave early tomorrow as I don’t have to be at work until 14:30 and the weather is too glorious to not fully enjoy it , especially since I haven’t finish my mini keg of Woodfords Adder cider yet .

Lovely photos of your travels, I don't blame you at all for delaying your return home for as long as possible

We are out on Moonlight Shadow tomorrow for a week (for the first time since September 2019).  We’ve held onto our half share primarily to allow our son and his family to use the summer week, but due to lockdowns have been denied the opportunity to use the spring week for the last two years.  We’re being joined by some friends and although Norfolk Lady could accommodate four, it would be a tad too cosy, so Moonlight Shadow it is, then!

We’re hoping to cross Breydon early Sunday morning, so may see you around.  Not sure where we’ll end up, so I can’t (at this stage), give you a clue as to how best to avoid us!! 😉

Have a good time Malcolm. Looking forward to seeing some drone shots on MS.

Thanks Helen.  Weather looks a bit grim for next week, mainly dry but cloudy - maybe it’ll perk up a bit!  Who knows?

Yep, the drone will be in action.  Going to try to get some shots and footage for the website!! 😁

Whoops!!  Thread drift - how unusual - sorry CC! 

[CambridgeCabby]

Up bright and early , a quick drive to Ludham butchers for some minted lamb kebabs for this evening and a gentle cruise , destination Ranworth !!!

Wonderful Norfolk skies overhead

First blue skies for a while. We’ve been stuck under grey clouds all week and it felt like the return of winter. Hopefully a nice spring bank holiday weekend ahead. Enjoy!
