A Fine Hairdo

With a successful lowering and raising of the mast, and a low bridge, under our belt we felt a lot more relaxed and ready to enjoy all the sights that the Norfolk Broads had to offer.

There were many of them, and we hope you enjoy our choices for sharing with you.

We soon concluded that there are very few Broads vistas that don't include reeds gently waving in the foreground. While most of the reeds we saw were growing naturally, we did spot quite a few stooks of harvested reeds.


We didn't have to wonder what happened to all those reeds for long, as we soon noticed that just about every building we saw from the river was thatched with the very same Norfolk reed. It got simply everywhere and even the boat houses were thatched, as you'll see in my next picture.


The thatch gave the buildings great character and made them so distinctive and different from the houses in the area of our own bear cave, that we felt we must have travelled much further from home than we had.

We bet they're nice and cosy in the winter.

Back soon,

Lots of love Eddie and crew xxx
