A slow start today on a very hot and humid day after a surprisingly quiet night at our Wroxham public moorings. Smartly to my solicitors to hear that there was no progress on Admiral’s Cottage and so I discontinued my interest and we looked at Heronshaw instead after a refreshing cruise to Horning. I arranged for contractors to visit tomorrow before considering an offer. Debbie went out on the outboard motor dinghy for the first time today.
I had a lay in this morning and it was only after 8am, that Di got up to get us started. Surprisingly, it was quiet at the public moorings in Wroxham, considering the type of crews we had as neighbours. It started and continued sunny and very hot today and it was a bit too much to bear in terms of both the strength of the sun and humidity of the air. This morning, I dressed in a smart suit and went to see my solicitor in the Broads Centre. She told me that there had been little progress in solving the outstanding queries on Admiral’s Cottage and so I made the decision to discontinue my interest.

I went with Daniel to see the two Wroxham chandlers and was pleased to get a number of items that we needed. In particular, I obtained a part to repair my helmsman’s seat and also found the right material for carpeting and headlining The Lady if we want to improve her. Di got overheated shopping with the girls, but we all recovered when it was time to set off in The Lady and got the breeze when travelling down to Horning. For once, we found moorings on the quay front. I had arranged for the Broadland Agency to show us around Heronshaw and we spent over an hour there. Di was not very keen, but Daniel and I think it would make a good investment. I phoned a couple of river-pilers/builders this evening and will meet them on site tomorrow to get their opinions before making an offer. I had a nice walk around Horning this evening to cool off with Diana. Debbie went out on the outboard motor dinghy on her own for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. No TV, radio or newspaper news today.
