We were due to have visitors today and had to be at Potter Heigham for lunch-time to meet them so we set off quite early and headed for Wroxham taking this photo as we crossed the bridge …
Irstead Staithe was the chosen spot for coffee and we parked by the church …
We then moved on to Barton Turf …
where we had a wander around Cox’s Boatyard …
if only we lived in Norfolk!
It was now time to go to Potter Heigham and meet up with Jamie, Phill and Ozzie who had driven over from Luton for the day. We had a wander around the boats and found Corsair Light 3 which will be home for a week in October and then went to Womack Water to have some lunch by the Staithe.
There is a webcam here which you can just see in the window of the shed …
so we rang Pam and told her to look at her PC and hopefully see us all standing there. Apparently she has printed a picture of us which we will see on our return home. The boys wanted to shop at Lathams so we drove back to Potter Heigham and then decided that the dogs would enjoy a run at their old haunt of St Benet's Abbey.
It’s much easier to arrive by boat! We had to negotiate narrow lanes in the RV but made it to the parking area and the dogs had a great run by the river.
It was very busy on the water with mainly yachts passing us …
After a quick look at the map the decision was made to go to Coltishall for a cuppa and so we parked in the car park by the Rising Sun and sat by the river where a family of swans came by …
and Hamish sat quietly while we had our drink …
We said goodbye to the boys and returned to the campsite.
