'Let any stranger find mee so pleasant a county,
such good way, large heath, three such places as
Norwich, Yar. and Lin. in any county of England, and
I'll bee once again a vagabond to visit them.'

'The Broad opened before them, trees and off-lying
islands of reeds to the right. Straight ahead of them on
the far side of the Broad was Ranworth staithe, with the
inn and the old malt houses and the little village and,
away to the right, the square tower of the old church
rising above the trees.' Arthur Ransome,
The Big Six |
