Salhouse to Ranworth

Another overcast morning ...

Hamish and I went for a walk and he made a new friend ...

Looking back down to the water ...

I love this Broad ...

It was soon time to move on and as always I was sorry to leave this peaceful place behind ...

So motoring back downriver towards Horning we saw swans take flight ...

and a large construction next to the Sailing Club ...

It will be interesting to see what it looks like next spring when we return. These yachts were not out on hire at the moment ...

This is the finished house which we photographed back in April ...

What a difference after a few month's work ...

We were soon within sight of Ranworth ...

and luckily there was plenty of room for us on the Staithe ...

Hamish was looking forward to a walk and so we set off on the loop which takes us up to the church ...

This is just outside ...

and walking back down the little track ...

we could see the top of the church tower where we have climbed to in the past for the fabulous view of the Broad and surrounding countryside ...

Crossing a small bridge at the end of our walk I saw this chap standing as if a statue ...

Even with people passing quite close by he never moved and wasn't a bit afraid of them. We were now back by the Maltsters pub ...

with this lovely sign of the village opposite ...

Back to Capri and the Southern Comfort came past on one of her trips ...

We had planned to move on to St Benet's Abbey for the night but it began to drizzle with rain and became quite windy so the decision was made to stay put here. We had a lazy afternoon and in the evening we had a meal at the pub which was very enjoyable and it was dog-friendly which was great.
