We were awake and up early this morning as hand-over starts from about 8am. We'd got the vehicles out of storage last night and had begun off-loading our stuff then. I'm always amazed at how much we take with us on the boat and most of it never sees the light of day! It was a beautiful day again ...
and after the chaps had checked the fuel we'd used and we'd returned the lifejackets then it was time to leave the yard.
It is now a tradition that we have our last breakfast at the Tearooms at Potter Heigham ...
It's dog-friendly and it's just a nice way to end the holiday. After we'd eaten Mike, Phill and I went to Lathams and Jamie took Ozzie for a walk around Herbert Woods' yard. A boat had arrived on a trailer and so he went to investigate while we did our shopping. When we got back Jamie was chatting to one of the new owners and it turned out that they'd found it on the internet and had bought it from Chertsey. A small world - that is where Jamie was born! Anyway it was called Hasty Lady and was a Freeman 32.
We all then got chatting and I mentioned my blog on Crocus and the lady said that her husband used to build wooden boats in Norfolk and she would have a look at my blog. I tried to convince her to set up a blog for Hasty Lady as they needed some work done on her and then planned to take her to the Continent and travel down through the canals. Perfect for blogging! We watched her launched (the boat that is!) and then said our farewells. Although we were going back to Luton to stay with the boys until Monday we didn't want to drive in convoy and so they left before us. We drove through Ludham and made for Wroxham where we got caught at the traffic lights outside Roys ...
One final time over Wroxham bridge ...
and then it was off to Luton.
