Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen
I think its pretty safe to say that summer has landed....yippee. Things are in full swing here. The winter dust sheets are off the kit and the canoes are on the water. This afternoons searing heat (24°c) has given us 4ft grass snakes basking on the bank behind our shop and the beautiful turquoise/blue flash of a kingfisher gracing our presence. join us for a day or two and discover the beauty of the broads for yourself.
