Messing about on the water
Ian | March 30, 2008Last Easter we were involved in an accident that wrote off our car. It wasn’t very pleasant and marred what had been nice weekend visiting the family. This year we took a different tack and headed for the water; sort of ignoring that the accident happened en route and our chosen destination of the Norfolk Broads was still a few hours drive in Bank Holiday traffic.
So from arriving on Friday to leaving on Monday, I spent the weekend driving. However, it was driving a floating caravan at a maximum of 6 miles per hour and a very relaxing way to while away ones time.
This year Easter was early (apparently due to the falling of the first Sunday after the first full moon following the Spring equinox). Combine this with a rather quirky front hitting the UK at the same time and it made for some interesting weather variations…
We got it all. Wind, rain, sun, snow, hail and all could be within minutes of each other. The nights were cold, manoeuvring could get a little tricky, but the pubs were friendly, the scenery was lovely and the pace was refreshingly slow.
Wow! That's quite a contrasting pair of pics that is.

It actually felt warmer in the boat once it had
Ian | April 1, 2008It actually felt warmer in the boat once it had snowed. The layer of snow insulated and blocked the gaps the wind had previously been whistling through.
