Friday 15th January - bike *** - Felixstowe circuit including lunch with
‘Emily’ – cloudy and still.
After yesterday’s washout when we had rain with strong cold winds all
day, we were keen to get out on the bikes today especially with more rain,
possibly snow coming tomorrow. The forecast snow failed to arrive but the
wind was very light making it good for cycling :) So with exercises done a
sandwich made with a flask of soup we set off well wrapped up at 12.15,
after posting a card we drop down Bent Hill cycling through the Spa
Gardens. Past The Fludgers turning inland to Marsh Lane and out into the
quiet countryside avoiding all the puddles. Again, the farm gate is closed
so after lifting our muddy bikes over we continue past the delict house
coming out near the River Deben at the end of Kingsfleet. We have a quick
look over the river wall before carrying on past Kingsfleet leading to the
country lanes and onto Falkenham Church. Our bench is free so we enjoy our
spicy parsnip soup with ‘Emily’. There are squirrels, a singing robin,
a kestrel. Fat pigeons and various small birds we could not identify
because of the dull light! After a relaxing break, not too long because our
toes were getting chilly we walked around the grave yard in search of
snowdrops, it is well known for them here and there were a few coming up,
always lovely to see:) Then we continue onto Kirton, then Trimley High Road
where we whizz along:) After a quick spot at the Co-op to buy a local paper
as I have a pic in, I have had three in this week, got lucky:) Also got a
pic on BBC’s Look East weather, yet another of Maggie’s back, she was
over the moon :) Home in time for a warming cuppa with a home made rock
cake!
