A letter from the children asked him to visit their small copse in the grounds they cared for and a pond they had created. He came for two, but stayed for three hours, talking to all 150 children and sharing their enthusiasm for natural history. He lay on the floor with the reception class, loving their song about a caterpillar. \u201cJust wish I was five and could come to your school,\u201d he said, ending his special morning. A year later he had an evening at Warwick University. I managed to pass a jar of blackberry jam to him, the fruit picked from the copse by the children and the jam made with some older help. David was delighted and touched, talking about it in the second half of the show. He was a truly delightful character.Val RobertsRetired headteacher, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire\u2022 Join the debate \u2013 email guardian.letters@theguardian.com Continue reading&#8230;&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : theguardian.com&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/education\/2019\/dec\/18\/a-delightful-day-with-david-bellamy\" target=\"_blank\">A delightful day with David Bellamy | Letter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; Val Roberts recalls the naturalist\u2019s visit to a school she taught at in Binley WoodsI&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-trx","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":45954,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/david-bellamy-to-leave-st-jamess-place-after-26-years\/","url_meta":{"origin":113183,"position":0},"title":"David Bellamy to leave St James&#039;s Place after 26 years","date":"March 1, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r \r \r Source : telegraph.co.uk\r Read more...David Bellamy to leave St James's Place after 26 years","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Property News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":74204,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/i-wish-we-didnt-have-all-these-political-shenanigans-going-on-sjp-boss-david-bellamy\/","url_meta":{"origin":113183,"position":1},"title":"&quot;I wish we didn&#039;t have all these political shenanigans going on,&quot; SJP boss David Bellamy","date":"December 11, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r \r \r Source : telegraph.co.uk\r Read more...\"I wish we didn't have all these political shenanigans going on,\" SJP boss David Bellamy","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Property News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":90290,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/winning-patterns-a-northumbrian-renaissance\/","url_meta":{"origin":113183,"position":2},"title":"Winning patterns: a Northumbrian renaissance","date":"June 3, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"\r The rich colours of Tuscany reign in designer Susi Bellamy\u2019s home near NewcastleLike a corner of northern Italy transposed to Northumbria, Susi Bellamy\u2019s house has all the confidence and swagger of a modern palazzo.
