Nice breeze but phew very hot, however we had a great time, I took photos all the way up the Geldeston Locks Inn, so will do a couple of posts because it was so nice to go up the river and see our lovely trees, unfortunate that we did not spot a Kingfisher, but the swans were lovely.
Matt our ferry man was very good and got us into our life jackets, 12 on the boat trip up and back, what a great job in the summer, he was chatting to Jan and I on the way back about all the different things he sees going up and down the river. 3 miles up to the Locks and it was really a wonderful change as had not been up there for several years.
Of course my Dad had a row boat when we were small and we spent a lot of time on the Waveney there were not so many boats in those days though. And a lot easier with an outboard motor than the oars…
We had a nice cool drink when we got to the Locks Inn and then a very nice meal, plus coffee, and then a little walk to watch some of the youngsters swimming.
A good crowd there of course a lot come up on the road and we have done that many a time, but coming up by boat is far nicer.
Thanks ladies for a lovely day, still trying to get cool! but could not have chosen a better day for our River trip.
