Monday 2nd August - walks ***** – 1. Early morning prom walk and 2.
Falkenham circuit – after a sunny start it clouded again.
Walk 1.
Got up early with wall-to-wall sunshine all be it a tad on the chilly side
and went for a lovely prom walk leaving home at 6 this morning, hoping to
get some pics to send to the local TV weather forecasts, something of a
hobby at the moment:) It was really quiet along the prom as we headed down
to Jacobs Ladder, just the way we like it just a few joggers, dog walkers,
fishermen and open water swimmers getting a few nice pics too with a
fantastic deep blue sky:) I was then lucky enough to actually get two of my
photos on Chris Pages weather forecast on ITV’s About Anglia, we love
Chris:) Back home to do exercises in the back garden as the sun disappears
behind the clouds but at least there was no rain today! After Mags Garden
hour she went to Lidl for a big shop and then decided to headed over to
Falkenham Church again for a walk after lunch at home.
Walk 2.
We take the quiet country lanes out to Falkenham Church arriving at two, we
started in sweatshirts but it was warm enough to take them off, even got
some brief glimpse of sun too:) In a two hour walk across farmland
featuring fields of barley, wheat, onions, sugar beet, rape, a few nearly
ready to harvest, we love to see how the crops are coming along. There was
a long bit along the River Deben path with several yachts beating slowly
down river against the tide in light airs with a few birds about including
a heron, loads of gulls, egrets and a few waders we only saw three other
people out:) We are so lucky to live here in Suffolk, so beautiful and
still easy to get away from the crowds!
Speaking of crowds, loads of people are getting excited about the imminent
arrival of the Evergiven, the huge container ship that got stuck in the
Suez Canal! It is at the moment anchored off Felixstowe but sadly it has
very few containers onboard so looks far from impressive. Would still like
to see it come into port but at the moment I have heard it is coming in at
8 or 10 or 5 so who knows, might bike down to Landguard tomorrow morning
early to check things out!
