David A Broad
A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Working in Horning cutting the lawns as temperatures touched the low 90sF locally.
Then down to The New Inn for lunch in the Jolly and back to Paxton to collect Diana and Debbie for the trip to Kimbolton to see Della in her last Prep play.
After dropping them home, Diana shut the door sharply in my face saying, "Girls, Dad does not live here any more".
A good night on the boat, despite my sore ribs, and I was the first up and getting showered and shaved ready to take Sam for a walk.

Leaving Berney Arms late but just in time to get under the Bure bridges but stopping in Yarmouth before cruising home to Horning.
John Major's authority over his Conservative party is waning as his Welsh Secretary and fellow cabinet minister John Redwood decided to stand against him in his "confidence" leadership election.
Slept well after our meal in the pub the previous night and then slept in as my organiser alarm failed to sound.

A walk into Lowestoft for shopping then re-fuelling at Oulton Broad before cruising to Berney Arms via Reedham
Late up and a scramble to get ready and out with Sam on a much warmer day.

The cruise from Yarmouth to Oulton Broad via Burgh St Peter, negotiating several low bridges. Then a nice meal at The Wherry Hotel
Up very early at 6.00am in a panic to make the low tide to get under the Bure Bridges after taking Sam for a short walk along the river wall.

Cruising from Thurne to Yarmouth via Stokesby, had a lunch of Cromer crab salad and beer at the local pub.
Calls from anxious friends before enjoying the sea front with stops at seaside cafes and the pier where we got seafood, pints of beer, lager and shandy.
A great night and some great sex as Sam was very good whilst we laid in until mid-morning.

Setting off on The Paxton Princess, stopping at Malthouse Broad to walk Sam and then on to moor at Thurne Dyke for the night.
The news was of John Major offering himself for re-election as Tory leader
Another sound night's sleep in the peace and tranquillity of Harnser boat dock and it was even later than the day before we got up and around.
