Thursday 21st March – Bike *** Felixstowe to Trimley – mainly
cloudy.
After a constructive morning at home it was time to get the bikes out for
the first time in two months! Having just bought a windsurfing foil I was
keen to go to local chandlery Seamark Nunn at Trimley St Martin for some
bits and pieces. So, after lunch Mag and I headed there along the road,
stopping at a carpet shop as we have big plans for our house this year. I
had mixed fortune at the chandlery but the assistant Henry, the son of a
windsurfing friend was very helpful:) Then we took a footpath directly
opposite Seamark we have never noticed before leading down to the railway
line where we helped a young mother carry her buggy over the two styles.
Then we turned right along a farm track to look at a flock of sheep feeding
in a field of cauliflowers:) We soon made it to thre farm at the top of the
track down to Loompit Lake which is the start of the nice tree lined route
back to Felixstowe. A large lorry was unloading recycled compost and we saw
birdwatching fiend Robin out on his electric bike. The tree arch route back
was as pretty as ever and the usual herd of deer were happily eating the
farmers wheat. We then bumped into Maggie Coles and her daughter Jenna out
walking their new family member, Ted the black springer and very handsome
he was too:) Stopping off at Morrisons for ice cream we got home after
being out 2 hrs. 20 mins covering ten miles, nice to be out on the bikes
again although my hydraulic brakes are very poor now and need replacing! I
was hoping to go windsurf foiling for the first time tomorrow but I don’t
think the bolts I need to fit the foil to the board will be here so I might
have to postpone that adventure!
