“I heard a bittern on my first day and saw one on my second,” she said. She learned to use the boats, to cut reeds and remove scrub with a brushcutter (like a giant strimmer), help with dredging the river and felling trees - and would love to have a go at higher (literally) level tree surgery one day. She also files reports on problems ranging from speeding to pollution, checks boat licences and tolls, and supports the emergency services dealing with the aftermath of accidents or incidents.  She loves the contrast between seasons, with a packed summer of talking to people on boats and in boatyards and out on the Broads, followed by winter conservation tasks in a virtually empty landscape.

But Alice loves both the sunny pleasantries of patrolling the Broads in summer and the physical challenge of wrangling heavy-duty cutters or a chainsaw.  

Roos Hall Beccles Christmas ghost | East Anglian Daily Times

“A good deal of interest has been aroused Beccles by the statements of two labourers in the employ of Mr F.W.D. Robinson of Roos Hall, Beccles, that they have seen an apparition in the neighbourhood,” the article read. “Benjamin Benns says he has seen it four times since last November, while Robert Elvin, his next door neighbour, says he first saw it for the first time a week before Christmas, and again on Monday night, the 18th, about eight o’clock, when he was walking with Benns towards Beccles. “They both agree that the ‘ghost’ was of very shadowy appearance, that passed them very swiftly on the Low Road leading to Shipmeadow Lock [now Geldeston Lock) and mysteriously disappeared.
