Stocking up? What do we need?

[Poppy]

You may even be able to get under that bridge

Vesta chow mein still available in supermarkets havnt had that for years

Dont see their paella of beef and chicken curries any more

Were always handy as a standby

Just had a look in my cupboard at home and the ones from Morrisons are made by Simpsons.  Not tried them yet but I am sure they will be just as good.     On a cold night after a good main meal a steam pud and whatever will just hit the spot.

Alan just remembered port and lemon, in case MOMA visits with pink mermaid fenders.

Do they do red Ferrari fenders?

No one has mentioned rat traps. How often have I heard rats scrambling over the cabin roof or along the decks, weird , unsettling sound. Big critters, Norfolk rats!

 

Another must have is small cubes of fish. Last thing sprinkle a few on your best friend's cabin roof. If the rats don't eat the fish bits then come sun-up the sea-gulls will crash-land onto the roof as they struggle to grab the the fish snacks. Very noisy, guaranteed to wake your friends up! However, expect retaliation, unless you do it on the last night of your holiday. 

 

Iain, when will you be down on Oulton Broad?

[Hylander]

JM   you are a little minx.

JM, early May is the answer lol, but, will ask Richos to fit all the relevant anti rat and dive bombing gear to my boat first!  One has to be prepared!

Not rats, but we once had a mink overwinter on Valoma. Never did get the smell out!

[JennyMorgan]

We once had an otter take up residence but I reckon a mink tops that. Perhaps mink has more class!! Advantage of the otter though, we did get rid of the smell.
