What a beautiful morning! We were greeted by this heron which was standing just in front of our boat …
After breks we set off for Horning passing lovely properties on the way …
In no time at all we reached the Norfolk Broads Yachting Company’s yard where many of their yachts were moored on the opposite bank to the sheds …
We were hoping to moor at the Staithe but it is always popular and you need to be very lucky to find a space. Just as we arrived a boat was leaving and with perfect timing for us today, we took its place …
We locked the boat up and went for a walk through Horning starting at the car park where we could dispose of our rubbish. The Southern Comfort was on her mooring by the Swan Inn …
We went along the road by the Inn and wandered in and out of a few of the little shops. The Post Office looks a very old building …
We had a quick look into the NBYC shed …
And then it was back to the boat for a coffee. Time to move on again so passing the Swan Inn …
and on upriver we went. The property here is just to die for …
and one for sale but way out of our league …
Leaving Horning behind we passed this grebe on her nest with hubby keeping an eye out for trouble …
We were hoping to moor at Wroxham so we could top up the fridge and larder by shopping at Roys and although the basin was very full Jamie managed to find a spot in the corner next to the Broads Tours boat …
With Neptune locked up again we set off for the shops stopping on the bridge to ring Pam and wave at her as she tried to see us on the webcam …
The boys went off to Roys and Mike and I set off in search of
Royalls Boatyard. They have a lovely blog which I follow and I wanted to stop by and say hello.
Unfortunately the office, although the sign said Open, was locked up and there was absolutely no-one about. Mike popped his head in the workshop and called out and I had a wander about looking for some sign of life by the boats – no-one. It will have to wait until our next visit to Norfolk. We met up with the boys at Roys then it was time to return to the boat and move off …
We left Wroxham …
and with the Queen of the Broads waiting to enter the basin …
we set off back downriver. A new boatshed was being built …
Just past the entrance to Wroxham Broad there are some moorings on Wroxham Broad Island which were perfect for a lunch stop …
We were spending the night at Salhouse Broad which was just a short hop down the Bure and when we arrived it was deserted …
We moored up stern-on as requested and in no time at all we were visited by swans and ducks …
The boys took the dogs for a walk and when they returned they told me about a family of Egyptian Geese which were at the other mooring spot. With camera in hand I set off to find them …
I love Salhouse Broad – it’s so picturesque …
Later on the little family came up to find us and I got the corn out to feed them …
It was a beautiful evening as the sun went down …
