Chocofluff Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks for the welcome. We are hiring Serene Gem from Richardsons on Monday 26 August. We went about 12 years ago with kids but now it's just us two! We would love to visit the Southern Broads but don't think we'll have time as its a 4 nighter and we've never got that far before. We are going to ring Richardsons a couple of days before to see if we can have an extra night and explore for an extra day. We would have booked a week , only we have a wedding the Saturday before.

ExMemberBobdog Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Welcome. You may find it difficult to acclimatise at first ... it doesn't rain here very often, and that big blue thing above you is called 'the sky'. Yes it is, honestly, I know you think it should be grey, but that's just the way things are round here. Enjoy ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExMemberBobdog Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It was my misfortune to have to spend some years in exile in the north-west, living high on a Pennine hillside. 350 days a year of rain, half a dozen of sunshine. Norfolk is described by the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia as 'semi-arid'. Long may it remain so - I've seen enough rain to last me a lifetime.

I seem to remember last time we were on the Broads about 10-12 years ago it poured down quite a lot. That's why we usually holiday abroad. Fingers crossed that we have a sunny week.

ranworthbreeze Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hello Choco, You always seem to have less rain on your side of the hill than we do in Sheffield, we go over to Manchester a fair bit being as my father in law lives in Sale. According to our link to the BBC Weather Norfolk website it would appear that you may be lucky . Have a look at the link, it can be found under the following path; Visiting The Broads?/ Useful Links, Slipways/BBC Weather Norfolk Not many sleeps to go before your holiday.
