Matt Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Well the car was loaded up big time with my mum joining us for the week. Dropped the cat in the cattery in the way and the journey took about 2 hrs 10 min so not bad. Quickly unpacked and slipped the ropes around 12:15 and headed to Bramerton where we moored up on one of the electric posts. Too notch evening meal was had in the Waters Edge. Back to the boat and put some heating on! Hopping the Easter bunny comes over night......... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyPatricia Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Have a great trip Matt. The pic of The river at Brammerton looks stunning. I've got a feeling someone may be running, not literally, around the boat wiping off sticky chocolate finger prints Have a great time Steve & Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSurveyor Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Saw Thunder on the river today and Ranworth Breeze, both look good for the start of the season. Lots of traffic today. Did notice a hire boat being steered with the bow thrusters in use at every turn, I think they may have a very short life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 So Sunday saw us awake at 5:45(!) put the boys back to bed which lasted until 6:30. Some Easter gifts were opened and after breakfast we opened the curtain where the boys discovered that the Easter Bunny had left some eggs over the common that needed to be found! The Easter egg hunt was on! Once the eggs were all collected we went back to Brooms to collect my inlaws who were visiting for the day. We then headed to rockland for a nice roast lamb After the meal we walked up to the bird hut overlooking the broad and then headed to Surlingham broad where we mudweight and after tea back to Brooms to drop the inlaws off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Easter Monday The boys treated us by sleeping in until 6:45! #winning Whilst we were having breakfast the Broom hireboats started return and they all look in fantastic condition. Once refilled they even move them only using the ropes so as not to use the diesel ahead of the next owner! We departed Brooms around 10:00 and arrived in Beccles at 16:00 after a fairly uneventful journey. Overcast and fairly cold today but the forecast suggests better is to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
