We Go Green

Today we're going to do something different; we're going to report on our latest adventure just after it's happened. As regular readers will know, our adventures have come so thick and fast in the past, that we've often had trouble keeping up and we've ended up talking about events some time after they've happened.

This adventure is different as it ended just a week ago so has a real contemporary feel to it and is very much fresh in our minds.

The main narrator is going to me, Eddie, so that should give you a clue that it is going to be aquatic in nature.


Look carefully at this picture and you will glean a couple of extra bits of important information.

The easy one is the sail and, yes, we were sailing, but the patches of reed should tell you that we hadn't taken to the high seas. What you are looking at is, infact, finest Norfolk reed, so the place we were sailing was the Norfolk Broads.

We'd decided to go green for this holiday, and arranged it long before the Icelandic volcano errupted, but as we departed for this adventure, driving for just over an hour across Norfolk, we were mighty glad we had, as the weekend of our departure co-incided with the middle of the flight ban.

We were therefore especially happy with our choice of hoiday, and that was before it had even started. As you will find out in the course of the next few posts, we got even happier as some wonderful days passed. We can't wait to tell you all about it.

Lots of love Eddie and crew xxx

That's a very fine photo Eddie. Good to see you are wearing a safety harness - we don't want you to fall off the rigging!

We are lookoing forward to hearing more about your adventures on the Broads Eddie,but we are also keen to hear more about your new boat even nearer to home; i.e. the new acquisition at Blakeny. Have you taken a photograph yet, and did you sail over the Bank Holiday?
