RIVER WAVENEY
We went up the river when we had our cousin staying and thought you might like to see a few of the shots..
This swan did not like the fact we were rather close to its little ones!!!!the noise was loud!!!
This is the view from the boat as we came into our quay at Beccles...thought the reflections were rather nice.....
These are the base of the old railway crossing, all gone now the railways but these bridge supports have lasted for many many years.....

Maritime Museum Lowestoft
My brother Ron was on a minesweeper in the war...., always loved the hymn Eternal Father with the words for those in peril on the sea....because the people round this area have always been remarkable in fishing and the saving of lives at sea.....
Jan and Rosemary found a great sailors prayer on the wall how brave the people who dare to fish the seas, and the lifeboats and crews who save those in peril... will make a return some day. not sure whether we ever took the boys? they will no doubt tell me!!!!but worth a visit....
We went for a stroll along the sea wall after and it was windy and cold, but just right for thinking of all the fisher girls who used to come and gut the herrings when we had a thriving fishing industry.. they used to walk along in their break knitting fairisle jumpers, their poor hands after all the hard work never seemed to worry them they always had a smile on their faces.....
Jan and I took our relatives Rosemary and Russell to the Maritime Museum yesterday long time since I was there, and they are adding a new piece thanks to the Lottery fund.....a little piece of `East Anglian history....
Just a few glimpses, hoping you can get the idea of how loved the fishing , lifeboat were and are around here...and how important it was and is to our coast here in East Anglia..
The Ness is where Jan and Russell walked to after the museum, but Rosemary and I went only part of the way, we prefered to look at the map!!!!!!
Just an idea of how they lived on the fishing boats....there were some great memories seeing the old packets of "players and woodbines" some of you will be too young to remember those....do not fancy sleeping in those little bunks in the middle of a storm at sea......
