Sunday 18th October- walk **** - Landguard Nature Reserve Circuit –
mainly cloudy.
A light wind weekend we have been entertaining friends and neighbours in
front of our lovely open fire. So, with friends coming for a cuppa and cake
this afternoon Mag and I decided we had time for a walk after our exercises
were done. Being a Sunday, we didn’t fancy the very busy prom here in
Felixstowe so we drove to the Manor carpark for a circuit of the lovely
Landguard Nature Reserve, I took my big lens in case there were any birds
about. This is also a popular spot but we set off along the small hills,
route we haven’t been on since our childminding days. It offers good
views all around, out to sea, the beach, the nature reserve and the hustle
and bustle of Felixstowe docks. With the wind light and offshore the sea
was like a mirror with loads of little fishing boats, an old sailing boats
and a tug waiting for a huge container ship to come int the docks. Also,
five jet skies were whizzing back and forth very fast! Then it was down to
the viewing point and back along the beach collecting driftwood and coal
for our fire as the container ship sailed past. Onto the beach a long
stretch of shingle and sand, nice and quiet too. Large black menacing
clouds were approaching from inland and we had already had some light rain
but luckily, we didn’t get any more rain. While Mag continued along the
beach, I walked into the reserve in search of some birds but they were few
and far between :( Meeting Mag back at the van after a very pleasant Sunday
stroll and home for yummy homemade soup. It is also looking promising for
some windsurfing next week but not sure where I am going yet???
