Some may say the world is more sanitised than previously. Thankfully this is not altogether the case in Broadland, where characters abound, whether they realise it or not.
Around a year ago, Ian who stayed part time on his narrow boat died after a prolonged illness. Ian had a joyous and caring personality and was usually accompanied by his equally jolly dog Tuppence.
Ian loved wildlife ~ going to some lengths to put up and maintain bird feeders in the trees (well away from crafty rats) at the far end of the railway viaduct moorings in Hoveton. One wonderful memory is of Ian on Christmas Eve morning two years ago singing ABBA songs very loudly from his barge appropriately called Happy Days, while anchored on Upper Bridge Broad in Wroxham.
