Thursday 31st January - walks **** – The Dip to Felixstowe Ferry -
sunny.
After yesterday’s mega walk in the Suffolk countryside we wanted to make
the most of another fine sunny winter’s day! After a hard frost first
thing, the sun had melted that and yesterday’s light covering of snow had
disappeared. We drove to The Dip at 12.15 and set off along the prom with
hardly a cloud in the sky - with what we call a skiing sky, a brilliant
blue:) Mag had fun in her wellies walking through the ice-covered puddles,
shattering each surface, as we headed to the Ferry with just a few dog
walkers out and about and not a golfer in sight! With the wind light it was
very pleasant to walk and we were not the slightest bit cold:) There was a
large platform used for building windfarms moored off Bawdsey beach. We
strolled through the boat yard, you can never take enough photos down
here!! We bumped into a lady we knew from our childminding days who had
recently bought a lovely houseboat. This must be a great way to live and
we had a nice chat with her. It was then onto the first stile on the River
Deben path and there were loads of geese, some flying in large squadrons
while others grazed in the fields. We then took the path to the left, for a
change. This takes you back along a raised bank through the golf course
again offering pretty views. Then back along the cliff to our van. We were
out 1hr. 30 mins covering 3 miles so its been a good month with 4
windsurfing sessions, 10 walks and 2 bikes:) We are off for a month in the
mountains on 12th Feb. in search of some snow but hope to have at least one
windsurfing session before we leave and next Thursday is looking promising
for a trip to Point Clear. Several of my mates are heading to El Medano
(Tenerife) and the forecast is looking good for them:)
