All is good here thank you. How are things your way?
I started this month with a trip to visit Tower Bridge in London, walking between the two towers & across a glass floor 140 feet above the River Thames. This weekend we go to see Michael Palin & then we end the month with a river trip on a Norfolk Sailing Wherry. Just 8 yacht Wherries remain & 5 will all be on the water together. And next month we take a trip on the last remaining sea going paddle steamer.

Those Norfolk Sailing Wherries (sp?) look super cool. I've never sailed but I want to learn. And mainly I want to ride on a sailboat.
I'm headed out to do some beach camping for a couple nights. More like glamping really. It'll be fun.

There are two types of Wherry. The old cargo (trading) boats, which traditionally have black sails & the slightly more modern Wherry Yachts. There are only two black sailed Wherry left & 8 of the much more luxurious wherry yachts. It is reasonably easy & not too expensive to book trips on the yachts.
I am lucky here. I live on the edge of an area called the broads. These are large, shallow lakes that were produced by peat digging in past centuries & which are linked via rivers, giving around 150 navigable miles. Plus we have the sea, an hours drive to our North & East & even a few miles of coast North West of us. So we also have lots of sea available & many small harbours.
My daughters belonged to the Sea Scouts & would one evening per week every summer. Go sailing &/or canoeing on a private broad. They also thus got to wild swim.
Beach camping sounds nice. Very few beaches allow that around here.

Power has been out since Friday morning....had to throw away all the food in my fridge and freezer...still no power...everything is destroyed....trees down on houses and power lines....electricity might no be restored until this Friday (maybe)....its the worst damage I've ever seen in my life. Trying to make it through this....thoughts and prayers to those who have it worse. Has anyone else in the forum been effected by Hurricane Helene? Spartanburg, South Carolina here. Stay safe everyone and God bless.

That's why I put my spiders here to sell....so I can have money for food, really. Trying to find a hotel but none of them that I know of have electricity. It's so horrible here. There is a grocery store near me that's using a generator I think....they had to throw away everything in there that doesn't have shelf life due to power outage. This is worse than anything when covid hit. No access to anything. I filled out a FEMA application but not sure when they will respond. I appreciate any offer of help. I just wish I could help others because I know some are in worse situations. I can't even go to work because there's no electricity there....my son's school has no electricity so he is at home with me. It's just terrible. I've never endured anything like this. Traffic lights are down in the entire county. Getting out and driving in the traffic is crazy....everyone looking for fuel and food.
