We couldn't have had a better day for the opening of the new ferry crossing at the Waveny River Cenre on Saturday. The skies were brilliant blue and the sun shone all day. David Bellamy was there to open the foot ferry which will now enable walkers to join the Angles Way long distance path as well as allowing them to visit the Suffolk Wildlife Trust reserve at Carlton Marshes. Apparently David is very familiar with the reserve at Carlon Marshes. He came here to carry out some research at the beginning of his career and yesterday recounted stories of swimming in the Waveney and crossing the river on the old ferry which used to run here.
Having grown up watching David "grubbing around in the undergrowth" on the TV it was a pleasure to meet him and take his photograph, and he was just as charming as I remembered from the television.
