BroadScot Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi All, If my calculations are correct, and he is not classified as a stowaway on the boat he was on, the Hockham Admiral shall hopefully be rejoining us all, soon. I hope he has many tales to tell, and lots n lots of nice pics too! After all that time at sea, I suspect his old pins will be a bit wobbly back on terra firma. So I think another day off from Forum work is in order, The Skipper may think otherwise! I have been covering John's duties whilst he has been seeing other places. So very soon I will be having a wee rest also, like what Alan R/B has just had! My countdown has already began, its just ten more sleeps then I shall be heading down to Norfolk, can't wait! Seriously, I hope John and his good lady Mary-Jane had the holiday of a lifetime, and have returned home safe and well. Iain. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 We may have to have another server just to cope with John & Mary-Jane's pictures alone. Iain you deserve a well earned rest, pity about the journey down to the Broads, but it is all down hill Remember we like loads of pictures and the odd story.

deebee29 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Iain I will try to let you know about the traffic situation from here in the North East We are travelling this Saturday....2 more sleeps (not sure but I might have mentioned this before Grace ) We will have a 3 wifi unit with us so should be able to get a signal. Although I don't intend spending much time online, i like to switch off and unwind when on the Broads. Hope you have a great time when the time comes but I also hope this next week drags along slowly. Ps you're doing a great job in John's absence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been doing a grand job Iain, don't stay away too long, you will be missed (even though you're the Pesky Mod lol) David, I completely understand where you're coming from in regards to switching off when on the Broads but I fully expect a day to day account of your Broads adventure with lots of pics Seriously, I hope you and your mum have a lovely time and have a safe journey Grace p.s Forgot to mention you've only got two more sleeps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebee29 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Iain we had no problems at all travelling down on Saturday. Speed limit was reduced to 40 on the A1 for a short strech but it was free flowing. also no delay on the A47 at Postwick. don't know what it would be like in rush hour mind. we were in Brundall by 12 and on our way by 2.45 (report to follow when we get home) have a safe journey and a great Holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi David, Many thanks for the update on the roads. Glad you arrived safely, and met up with Steve & Deb. and were out promptly at the yard. Have a great week. Take care. Iain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffandWendy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 David (deebee29) and Iain, have a safe journey and a great holiday. Just counting the days, is slower than counting the weeks. John & Mary Jane, Welcome back. you must have been away when we first joined the forum. Hope you had a great cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi Geoff, Thank you for kind wishes. Yep a week today all being well should be on our way after overnight stay at the Premier Inn, Kings Lynn, then Sainsbury's after breakie and some shopping, also refill the car with diesel. It will be interesting to see what I get to the gallon with the Renault Scenic fully laden. Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
