Did he have that kind of reddy-brown eyes that sometimes go with red hair, or hazel, or what?

I'm not sure. My father (also red-haired, though not by the time I knew him) had bright blue eyes, the colour of speedwell, so perhaps Dan was the same.

I've never been to the Norforlk Broads: I've been saving them up, along with the Lake District, but perhaps I should set about seeing these places soon!
