Tam, we rented a small bungalow which came with a rowing boat, as it was down one of the little 'tributaries' off the main stretch of waterway. Each morning the sun rose with the most staggering beauty and shone straight into the lounge...It was in April, so all of nature was having babies...and the Mum's brought them down to us to feed...
I could spend my entire life feeding ducks, swans, birds etc..I'd be happy as a lark doing that..
Some part of Norfolk can seem very bleak, miles of flatness and little else, but around there is lovely, thatched cottages, little honey pots of cottages, right beside the river...and everywhere there are herons and wildlife...It's just utter magic!
And of course, there's also Norwich just up the road, or you can get there by boat too...A church for every week of the year to be found there..as well as the Castle and some lovely shops, the market..
