Good morning! What a lovely start to the day to be greeted by this couple ...
After breks we said goodbye to Thurne ...
and made our way upriver to Potter Heigham where we immediately saw a Hunter yacht making its way through the bridge ...
We moored up and while the boys went off for showers Simon and Vikki went to look at the shops, waving as they passed over the bridge ...
After topping up with water we set off again downriver ...
and then up into Womack Water where everything was very spring-like ...
We moored at the Staithe for lunch ...
and once again the locals were trying to get in on the act ...
Hamish posed with the daffodils ...
and then it was time to leave ...
It was very busy on the river ...
The dogs were enjoying the view ...
and in no time at all we reached the River Bure and the sign for Ranworth ...
We decided to give the dogs a run at St Benet's Abbey on the way and there was plenty of room for mooring!
Ozzie has recently had an operation on his leg and this was the first time he was allowed to really have some exercise so he relished it ...
Group photo at the cross ...
and a few different shots of the abbey ...
The Southern Comfort came past us ...
and then it was time to move on again. There were a couple of very sleepy people ...
but with Vikki at the helm we soon arrived at Ranworth where our captain Jamie moored us brilliantly between two boats while the whole of the Staithe watched and waited for him to make a mistake!
Simon and Vikki went off to climb the tower of Ranworth church and I tried to take a photo of them at the top but it's not brilliant ...
While the youngsters went off to the pub for the evening we sat on the boat and watched the sun set ...

I've never been on a boating holiday - and yes I live where there are canals and canal boats for hire!!!! You make it all seem very interesting and relaxing. Maybe it's something we should try sometime.
