@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social All snow gone by the time we left Norfolk, but plenty of the forecast rain replaced it Actually made remarkably good time in the circumstances.
I'm a # boater , and a # blues and # gospel # musician . I dabble in # webdesign and # wildlife # photography . At least, those are the things I'm most likely to post about. Also play # boardgames in my "spare" time, but don't have much of that. I was born in 1948. Last paid full-time work: 1998. No paid part-time work since 2009. Now live on the edge of a # village on the # coast of # Norfolk , close to the # norfolkbroads . # fedi22

We got back to #Norfolk from our trip to #Cheshire last night, to find the remnants of #snow in a #plantpot beside the door.
This morning we woke to find two plant troughs blown over. The third blew over in the other direction later this morning.
Confirms that the #wind blows round our #yard in very #unpredictable ways.

Wish I had a good answer to that one. Being a #boater I have never tried actually seeing the #Broads by land. Places like #Wroxham and #Horning have plenty of possibilities for #riverside views but not broads.
Most Broads have edges too soggy to have roads near them and most of the banks are in private hands or the hands of organisations such as the #NationalTrust and #Norfolk #Wildlife Trust, whose priorities do not to encourage unencumbered access by the masses.
Malthouse Broad, near Ranworth, must be one of the best exceptions. I've never tried to reach Salhouse or Wroxham by road, but the owner of the first offers moorings which are accessible from a car park some 800yds away and it's probably possible to explore the grounds around the sailing club at Wroxham Broad.
If you don't mind being part of a party then the #NWT do have guided walks at #Hickling.

@distinctdipole@tech.lgbt My working life as a linguist means I have always been held to a high standard in my native language. #BadEnglish can equate with no more work.
Both my parents left their one room village schools in #Norfolk at 14 in the 1940s. *They* wrote and spoke English of a higher standard than some today are capable of.
