Messing about on the river

We're back from our few days on The Norfolk Broads. Although the days were much shorter than a summer stay, the weather couldn't have been better and we enjoyed some lovely cruising and yummy lunches at the many riverside pubs on offer along the way. My daughter E and the gang were on their hired boat for the week and us landlubbers joined them for a few days.

Their mooring alongside our hotel in Wroxham was perfect

Before we arrived however, I was told that this cheeky little chappie - grandson L had fallen overboard whilst they were moored up! Fortunately they weren't cruising along at the time. They managed to hook him up pretty darn quickly, and thank goodness he had his life jacket on! He didn't seem too phased about it and survived the ordeal. Me on the other hand - well my heart was in my mouth from the time we arrived I can tell you!

Some of these riverside cottages were absolutely divine and they all had

places for mooring their boats

And some had their own resident Herons - they were everywhere

Eldest grandson H was more than content just idly fishing, whether
from the back of the boat or at one of our lunch stops.

He was more than pleased with this little catch

  

The swans didn't go hungry either

  

The end of a day on our lovely Autumn break

See you soon
