Thank goodness Storm Christoph has moved away so I can forget about
windsurfing thankfully and with wall to wall sunshine and light winds today
before it gets colder at the weekend with snow possibly, we were keen to
get out on the bikes to make the most of the good weather! So, another
morning at home, me doing my exercises with Mag getting out in the garden
for the second day in a row before I make a sandwich and we head out on the
bike just before midday. It was the perfect day for a bike ride, deep blue
sky with light winds as the cycle through Felixstowe town and out to Marsh
lane avoiding the big puddles. We stop and have a quick look at the River
Deben before continuing past Kings Fleet spotting a noisy Marsh Harrier and
up to our favourite spot, Falkenham Church where our bench is once again
free, we are so lucky to have this beautiful spot so close to home! We have
a walk around the grave yard first to see the snow drops which are coming
along nicely now:) We had the most fantastic time out in quiet Suffolk
enjoying the view with a steady stream of birds all around including a
kestrel, pigeions, robins, gold finches great tits, long tailed tits. Well
rested we continued on to Kirton past two Buzzards annoying several pigeons
so stopped to watch and there was still patches of frost on the leaves in
the shade! Then Trimley high road, around Felixstowe academy before Mag
heads for home while I carry onto the view point by Felixstowe docks, past
a police officer checking to see how far people had driven to get there!
The Orwell was lovely as usual, bathed in brilliant sunshine. There were
two ferries entering port so load sof action before carrying on through
Landguard Nature Reserve, along the prom and home. So a 17 mile ride around
Felixstowe in perfect winter weather enjoying the best Suffolk has to
offer, so lucky to live here!
