Quiet (at The Moment)

May make your acquaintance sometime this week NorfolkNog. If you pass a bright orange ex Richardson’s horizon 35 give me a toot. What boat are you on?

The storm seems to have disappeared as quickly as it came. I haven’t seen tomorrow’s forecast yet. Hope you are nice and snug. Kate

[NorfolkNog]

Certainly will, with Bridgecraft. Supporting the local hostelries too

Well someone has got to.        Just keep warm and safe please.   Do you intend to come down to little ole Beccleas.

Last night  we went to the Whitehorse Chegrave. Dreadful weather on the way.Anyway Christmas  Dinner,as usual very good.Last week we went to the new Inn.I asked about  moorings,some confusion. One barman said in the season they will charge for moorings.,but that won't be taken off your bill of you have  a meal.I think that's wrong if true,think they will lose some custom.

Plenty of room on the public moorings Ian! 

On the whole I think the pub has improved.

Tad breezy at Stokesby 

[kpnut]

Yes it is still and a nip in the air. Missed you this trip norfolknog if you’re down at stokesby, presumably gearing up for breydon tomorrow.

Humber bridge still looking good this late in the season. Is the engine mounted in the stern or midships on her ??

I was asking about moorings  next year.If I have to pay for moorings which is not taken off the bill.I wouldn't moor there.Over the years I've spent lots of money at the New Inn.So they may lose my Custom! To be honest  the food last week there was average.No way near the standard of a few years back.

[NorfolkNog]

Ah, that's helpful Ian. We didn't eat but were happy with the drinks. Mooring in season would be a problem I agree so that's fair comment.

Thanks, good to see you back on the forum, BTW the wife loved your Christmas lights 😉

[Chelsea14Ian]

In my opinion as a Chef and a customer. The menu seemed to have,many dishes with Avocado, which is not the best ingredient,it has its place but needs a balance. Marina had bangers and mash,I had chicken  burger which as I said was average. Okay but nothing  to write home about.Compared with the chicken burger we had at the Falgate, Potter which was outstanding. The menu at New Inn is I think a chain one something I not keen on.That said the barman who served us was excellent. A few twigs is all that needed.I may email  re mooring charges  see what they say.

[NorfolkNog]

Aw, thanks Andy, glad she enjoyed them! 

Been a brilliant holiday so far and massive thumbs up to Bridgecraft for making it all possible 

[Chelsea14Ian]

Glad your enjoying your  trip.Howard have you seen my Mugs,Tankards etc?

Apologies Ian, no, where do I find those? 

[Chelsea14Ian]

Our house. 

[marshman]

Guess what Ian - it is part of a chain. It is owned by Classic Inns!

[Chelsea14Ian]

Comes up as Stonegate I think.

[NorfolkNog]

Reversed the full length of Thurne Dyke without a hitch. 

Of  course I didn't have an audience..... 

[NorfolkNog]

Tis a tad full at Herbert Woods

Wind picking up already MM 

Did consider Salhouse but not sure about mooring and yes, long way to pub and probably V muddy. Near high tide here and still below mooring. Springs set and head to wind so should be fine. Time for the pub. 

Salhouse should be OK and the walk to the Fur and Feather is about a mile but on the road so not muddy and all downhill on the way back. The big plus of course, is that you can get a pint of 'Norfolk Nog'!!

I was having a cuppa at work watching you bumping about in woods yard ( 😉 )
