Updates to the web site

Nothing lasts forever, so the time had come to change a few photographs. It gives the site a fresh look to returning visitors.

As this blog is for the latest news items, I have deleted the original NEWS page. I think blogging made it redundant, and it was also a long way out of date.

And we have some gratuitous commercial advertising. We have to make some money somehow to keep it all running.

Onwards and upwards, progress is relentless.

Norfolk Broads River Cruise

We have booked it.
Confirmed date is 4 July 2008.
Look here for more details.

Social at Sue and Dave's 27 Ocober 2007

Sorry folks but we have to cancel this meeting.

Sue has hurt her hand (we think a trapped nerve). She is in quite a lot of pain and not really up to socialising.

Please accept our apologies for cancelling at such short notice.

Norfolk Broads River Trip July 2008

We are still at the planning stage but we are looking to book an evening nude cruise along the Norfolk Broads on the "Southern Comfort" paddle steamer.

Target date is 4 July 2008.

If you are interested in such a venture email us or post a comment here.
