The old play equipment at Nicholas Everett Park
The old play equipment at Nicholas Everett Park

Whilst we were staying at Oulton Broad, we shopped in Jeckells Chandlers and bought Di a new sleeping bag and some ropes so that the girls could practice their knots and then, after allowing the girls to play briefly on the play equipment in the Nicholas Everett Park, we took the bus into Lowestoft for lunch and some more shopping. Then back to the boat with some more charts

We stayed at Oulton Broad for a while this morning and then Di went shopping and I took a look at Jeckells Chandlers. We bought Di a new sleeping bag from that shop as she was complaining that her old one had lost its insulation qualities through constant washing. I also bought the girls a length of rope each so that they could learn all about tying knots. We had coffee together in a small place opposite the yacht station and then we found a little time and weather moderate enough to allow the girls to play briefly on the play equipment in the Nicholas Everett Park.

The bus to Lowestoft and then we ate a quick meal in the Harvest Bakery before putting the girls into a nearby cinema for the afternoon. This gave Di and I the chance to do some shopping together and I took her to the large hardware store that always impresses me, and she was similarly appreciative. We bought a few things and then rendezvoused with the girls and went back to the boat for tea. I stayed up and studied the new set of charts that I had finished up buying and then soon went soundly to sleep.
