Wayford Bridge on the Norfolk Broads, c.1960s - Salmon Postcard
I failed to find time to add a further update when we completed our cruise on Tuesday. From #Neatishead we passed The Ice House, one of the impressive #houses at #Irstead Shoals.
We moored at #HowHill where we spent an hour walking around the #gardens. We then proceeded to #LudhamBridge where we moored for the night, eating at The Dog where a couple of guys turned up and entertained us for half an hour. It was possibly the best impromptu #entertainment I've ever experienced. The photograph does not indicate how much #laughter there was and how we enjoyed #singing along.
We left our #mooring just before 06:45 as we needed to be back in #Stalham for a meeting at 10:00 and needed to pick up some stuff from home before that.
The plan this morning is to call at #Neatishead Staithe,walk into the #village and buy a few provisions at the #volunteer run #community #shop, then make our way back down #LimekilnDyke and down the #River Ant to #LudhamBridge where we'll overnight after an evening #meal at The Dog.
We'll have to be up early as it's a couple of hours back to our #mooring and we both have meetings in #Stalham at 10:00 on Tuesday.
As predicted, the wind has veered 180° since arrival here yesterday afternoon.

Four of the five #candidates for the #NorthNorfolk #constituency at our parliamentary #election (L to R Duncan Baker, Elizabeth Dixon, Stefan Aquarone and Jason Patchett) attended a hustings at #Stalham Baptist Church tonight.
I attended as time keeper for their speeches and answers to questions.
Just been into #Stalham, our nearest #town (pop: c3,200), to have my #haircut (what's left of it)! The barber's shop is just visible behind the first car parked on the right.
Not sure why the shops all are flying the #UnionJack. Can't be the #football. Could be left over from the #Sunday #Street #Market a few weeks back.
Forgot to post about the last Bar Room Blues gig on 30 September. Entry was free! Less sure about exit. 😂
Raised £333 for the local MIND and EACH (East Anglian Children's Hospices)
We really enjoyed ourselves and the audience seemed to as well. They didn't seem to want to leave until we played an encore, but that could be something to do with the guy standing at the back with the large bucket awaiting donations.
