Thursday 21st January - walk *** - Landguard Circuit – mainly cloudy
after sunny morning.
Apparently, it is Squirrel Appreciation Day today, who knew, hope Squirrels
everywhere had a great day :)
It has been a very frustrating few days for a windsurfer when I could have
sailed for the last three days but my go to winter venue, the marina at
Levington is currently closed and I don’t fancy an open sea session with
the cool temperatures especially at my age:) Mag and I are trying to make
the most of the current lock down by walking at least three miles every
day, mainly along the prom. To make it more interesting by taking pics to
send to ITV Anglia and BCC Look East weather and have had a few pics
featured as well as still sending them to the local paper, you can never
take enough pics of Mags back !!!! Storm Christoph worst winds seem to have
passed in the night and we even had some sunshine, we needed a sack of
birdseed so decided to take the van down to The Manor for a walk at
Landguard Nature Reserve so we could get some on the way home. We parked up
at 1.45 and it was very quiet but it was not surprising as the sun had just
disappeared with a cool wind from the west as we set off along the footpath
to the view point with the smell of hot tarmac in the air. We discovered
the source of the smell as workers were laying tarmac in the docks. Again
not many cars at the view point but several beautiful starlings looking for
a meal as to set off along the Orwell to Landguard beach with not a soul in
sight:) Back along the beach to the van, nipping to town for bird seed and
a local paper plus Mag got some yummy cakes in the bargain bucket to have
with a warming cuppa!
PS - apparently it is Squirrel Appreciation Day today, who knew :)
