    Boat Trip Up The Broads

    2 augusti 2024, England ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Well they didn't exactly rush to get up un goin this morning, so it was afternoon before the bikes come down off me rear. Thems gunna bike into Wroxham for a look around. Himself fancies a boat ride, her ain't keen but I spose she'll go.

    Well if it wasn't for Roy's, Wroxham would only consist of Fish un Chip shops, she counted 4. Roy's started as a corner shop, it's now the largest ever corner shop incorporating a supermarket with a McDonald's. Over the road is a Roy's department store, there's also a separate Roy's toy shop, garden centre and DIY centre , God help Wroxham if he closes down. She's treated herself to a hat tu keep sun off her head, dow think much of the ribbon round it, that's gotta gu, for summit a bit less flowery, but it's okay.

    They finds a boat trip, 90 minutes on the Vintage Broadsman boat, a looky likey paddle steamboat . A gentle cruise along the broads with informative commentary. They pass some beautiful houses, the oldest, a little thatched cottage and the newest, a multi-million £ super modern mansion. They even pass one originally owned by old time musical performer George Formby, (remember the picture and story Kath) . A bit of wildlife on the way and lots of boats and they both enjoyed a lovely trip.

    Back on the bikes retracing their route alongside the narrow gauge railway line back to me, whose spent all day on me own after the other caravan left this morning, a good day .    Läs mer

    Horning, and Boring

    4 augusti 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Well he's selected some nice villages to tour round today, so yours truly has bin called into action.
    Horning is the first stop and after parking me up at the village hall they wander down to the river. Well it's rather lovely so they sit with a tea and coffee watching the equivalent of the M25 of boating, strewth it's busy on the river.
    So wandering further they heads me off for the coast for a sea view for lunch.
    Big mistake - no parking for me as I am a bit of a big boy. So lunch was had on an industrial estate road for gawds sake. You caw make it up can yer!
    After that a drive through some nice villages and back to the camp site so a bit of a disappointing day really. Hey ho, I may be a bit big for touring round villages and narrow roads, but they doh complain about me space when that are on site, so boo hoo!    Läs mer

    We'll they certainly are avin a relaxin trip this time, they day get up till nearly 10. Leisurely breakfast and a sit in the sun reading. They eventually decide to get the bus into Lowestoft

    They finally arrives after the bus is late, but front row seats again, but they am delayed to reach the gem they ope Lowestoft is as the bus has tu wait for the harbour bridge to open to let a boat through.

    It's got a little town centre to walk round but all of a sudden the wind has really got up un its blowing like mad. They meks their way to the front by the South Pier and they pop into the Harbour Inn for a pint.

    They start battling their way along the prom, her nearly has her dress fly over her head with the wind, and with the sand blasting against them they decide it's time to head home, unfortunately the bus company has other ideas. The bus don't show so thems standing around for nearly an hour waiting for the next bus. Not the end they wanted to the day, so all in all in all not one one of their best days out.    Läs mer

They start the day at the Pier, checking out the beach huts then enter the pier un what do you know theres a restaurant/bar selling Adams so of cause the has to have one before goin any further. The Pier is bustling un they meks the way to the end, all along the handrails are little brass commemorative plaques with names on, apparently the purchase goes towards the upkeep of the Pier. They calls in at the arcade on the way, full of strange machines and of course e has to have a go, they walks back past the wall of mirrors and the water clock just in time to see it going through its routine, including the statues of the two boys dropping their pants and weeing.

    Next they meks their way along the front towards the town in search of yet another pint before trying out one of the best chippies in town. Next call is the Adams brewery shop before heading home, hopefully this bus will turn up, good job it does its the last one of the day. Sunny Southwold didn't disappoint best day of he holiday.

    Home Sweet Home

    10 augusti 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Well, we started off early. Well, for them, it was early . Just gone 9 and weem on the road. Plan is to drive till 12.30 und find somewhere to stop for a bite and for himself to watch the Baggies match on the TV. But traffic is moving really well, no holdups anywhere, so we keep going and get home just after one in time for him to watch the second half. They won, so that's a bonus .

    We've had a good time and a relaxing time. The Norfolk Broads are lovely and a great holiday.

    No pics today, Bertie signing off x    Läs mer
