Tuesday 4th December - bike **** – Two Rivers – Deben to the Orwell -
sunny.
After some days of mild weather today was colder but bright sunshine with
vivid blue skies and very little wind which meant it was too good an
opportunity not to get out on the bike! So after finishing my exercises
followed by breakfast it was get the camera and head out at 11.20, sadly
Mag was knackered after already spending two hours working in the garden
she was knackered and decided to stay at home:( On reaching the cliff top
at the end of our road the scene was stunning, mirror flat sea with
glistening sun so I decided to return home to get Mag but she had arranged
to view a flat with daughter-in-law Jay at the end of our road:) So back
down to the prom turning left and heading to The Ferry stopping en-route to
snap away! As usual the blue sky set of Felixstowe’s beach huts and the
River Deben looked amazing with some great reflections. A quick trip around
the boat yard, I never tire of taking picture’s here before biking out on
the Deben sea wall path which was a bit muddy but OK to cycle. Sadly, no
Bearded Tits as I turned left at Kingsfleet then out onto the country lanes
arriving at Trimley. Then turning down Maidstone Road I came out at the
docks by Mc Donald’s and soon arrived at the dock viewing point before
turning and heading for home along the prom. I arrived home at 2 being out
for 2hrs. 40 mins covering 16.64 miles in time to there all about the flat
viewing. Although it was lovely inside as newly refurbished it smelt of
cigarette smoke and the outside needed some serious work so that’s a no:(
Mag and I then had a nice afternoon in our old friends’ kitchen with a
cuppa and cake by her hot Aga. Looking like some big winds coming and if it
doesn’t rain too much could be in for some good windsurfing:)
PS – it would have definitely been a 5 Star bike ride if Mag had been
there !!!!
