We haven't seen the Broads' water levels this high in a little while! The mooring here at How Hill isn't usually level with the River Ant 😵 Hope everyone is staying dry and warm during #StormCiaran and expect possible event cancellations this weekend in the #BroadsNationalPark

Saving Wensum Lodge to be a Creative Hub

Wensum Lodge has provided vital training to local people for decades. Dating from the 12th century, the buildings are an important feature in Norwich's cultural quarter around King Street.

Ship Model of the Month Not all ship models were made for show. Some were carefully crafted and set to work in a good breeze on open water. In 1908 miniature racing skiffs began appearing on Sydney Harbour. They were a celebration of hard-earned knowledge and local know-how.

The Norfolk Schools Sailing Association is an incredible asset to Filby, but they haven't always had the most comfortable facilities for their visitors. That's why it's amazing to hear of their new upgraded development.

Occasionally I get customers bring in a piece of wood that takes my breath away. Yes I do do bowls when asked. This crazy Elm Burr was dry and stunning with a little spalting thrown in. ❤️❤️
