Monday 31st August - bike **** - Felixstowe circuit including lunch at
Falkenham Church – mainly cloudy.
After two full on foiling sessions on the River Stour at Bradfield with
early starts we decided to take it easy today and have a lay in:) Woke to a
nice sunny day here in Felixstowe so after breakfast did my exercises in
the back garden. Then as it was sunny and warm, we decided to make a salad
and bike over to visit ‘Emily’ at Falkenham Church but by the time we
were ready it had clouded over so Mag was pleased she had her ski coat on!
As it is Bank Holiday Monday the seafront is best avoided so we headed
inland, past The Grove park, onto Marsh Lane to Kings Fleet. We take the
farm track up to Falkenham and we were told that there was a small field of
sun flowers if we took the footpath to the left when you re-join the tarmac
road. There was a no cycling sign so we left our bikes behind the hedge and
started to walk across the fields with no sunflowers in sight! We got to a
large field of red onions where we meet another couple who told us where
the flowers were! At the end of the field we turn left into a lovely little
wood with some ponds coming out by a small farm reservoir where we scared
and feeding Egret off. We then found the sunflowers which several were in
bloom:) As they were all facing the other way, we walked through the middle
of the sunflowers which had been planted to feed birds in the winter when
the heads go to seed. Several birds took off as we walked including a
yellow hammer and we spotted a Muntjac deer:) It was lovely in the
sunflowers and we then retraced our steps hoping our bikes were still
there! Back at the bikes it was just a short trip to our seat at Falkenham
Church for our yummy lunch watching the odd yacht slowly moving on the
River Deben below. It was a bit nippy to stay too long so we headed back on
our usual bridle ways and footpaths back to Felixstowe in time to watch
Tenable and Tipping Point, sad I know!
