After a colder night at Horning, the day walking Sam, working on Paxton Princess and lunching at the Riverside Restaurant in Wroxham, witnessing the care of a local nursing home in taking a party of elderly ladies being given the treat of a trip to sit by the river in Wroxham. On another long walk with Sam, Diana and I saw Farmer Gedge harvesting his barley and his friends staked out with shotguns to take any hares that were flushed.
It was colder last night than of late and we were pleased to be back in Harnser and able to use the facilities there. Sam was awake soon after 7.00am, unlike being in the boat or home in Paxton where he stays in longer. Out to feed him and take him on a run and I found him extremely enthusiastic about having it - marking his old territory with urgency. Over breakfast, I agreed with Diana that we would work on at our respective jobs and then go out to Wroxham for lunch.

As the wind moved back to the north and the rest of the day turned steadily colder but drier after early rain, I enjoyed a well earned rest before walking Sam to Acle Bridge where I bought milk and an EDP.
We then holed up with me writing my journal before we cruised back from Acle Dyke home to Harnser in Horning via a stay in Ranworth Broad.
The startling news is of the Norwegian diplomats successfully brokering peace talks between Israel and Palestinian representatives.
A lay in after the recently missed sleep and it was gone 8.00am before we had stirred and started our morning routine. I took Sam on a walk across a plank, along the river bank and right up to Acle Bridge where I could buy an EDP and some milk for breakfast before coming back. Breakfast and, with Sam quite content to be tethered outside on the grass, we rested up a while as I caught up on my journal. We cast off for our journey home shortly afterwards as the sun came out and the early rain had cleared away. Even so, the wind had moved back to the north and the rest of the day turned steadily colder after we headed back in mid-afternoon.

A very successful cruise from Oulton Broad in calm seas and a breeze from the west, collecting 50 gals of diesel before dropping through Mutford Lock and steaming via Lowestoft and the North Sea, under the Haven Bridge to Great Yarmouth.
Collecting Daniel at The Town Hall Quay and mooring at the Yacht Station, walking Sam and enjoying lunch at The Pizza hut, we then cruised upstream via Stokesby to moor at Acle for the night
