Sunday 6th June - walks ***** - Around Felixstowe – sunny periods and
hot.
Walk 1.
Woke early to another perfect day’s weather, wall to wall sunshine with
light breezes, Mag said she was going to release the slugs and snails she
collected from her garden last night at the end of our road so I got up to
join her. We were at the cliff top at 6.15 and the view was pretty as a
picture with the sea like a millpond and next to no one about, just how we
like it. With the slugs gone to a new home in a small wild area we walk
down through the garden near the town hall with everything now coming into
bloom:) Sadly the first sight to greet us were two broken wine glasses
smashed on the prom. As usual only a couple of metres from a bin, the world
id just so full of uncaring idiots, we carefully picked it up as don’t
like touching things other people have touched these days and put it in the
bin. Being a Sunday morning we were quite impressed that generally there
was not much litter about, the odd bin the gulls had emptied looking for
breakfast and the usual empty cans and bottles by several of the benches:(
We then walked the near deserted prom all the way to Jacobs Ladder with
only the occasional dog walker and jogger, plus one metal detectorist and
a few paddle boarders and canoeists making the most of the ideal
conditions:) Then back home for a cuppa and read in bed before up for
breakfast and exercises while Mag does some gardening before it gets too
hot! Perhaps we can go for another walk later this afternoon if we can find
somewhere quiet?
Walk 2.
After this morning’s lovely early morning walk, we spent the rest of the
morning enjoying our garden, getting some nice pics of the beautiful
flowers and bees, then after lunch we had to make a quick trip to Lidl
stopping off at The Grove but it had started to cloud over hoping to see a
bit of wildlife. The cow paisley was looking amazing, the canopy above had
really filled in making it pretty dark now, not much in the way of wildlife
today apart from the hundreds of noisy crows, even the horses and foals had
disappeared! We did our usual circuit of the wood; the back path was
covered in stingers which made our legs tingle! Then home via the busy sea
front and home for a cuppa, cake and read, quickly dozing off! Hopefully
tomorrow with the good weather continuing we are heading out for breakfast
on our bikes early:)
