Thursday 12th August – bike **** – Around Felixstowe including
breakfast at the Ferry – sunny periods.
Hoped to get out on the bikes this morning but woke to an overcast day
which was not very inviting so had a bit of a lay in. Then a bit of blue
appeared so we decided to take breakfast to watch the boats on the Deben at
Felixstowe Ferry. We did not leave home until 9.30 biking down the hill at
the end of our road bumping straight into our friends the Hurrell down for
the weekend in their caravan, it was great to see Linda out on her bike
after a knee operation. After a chat on the prom we continued to the
Fludgers with the sky turned grey again. Then inland before heading down
the windy path to cycle all of the quiet prom at The Dip, past the golf
course stopping at our favourite spot on the River Deben with views across
to Bawdsey Manor for our yummy breakfast. Despite the tide being fairly low
there were a few yachts but the highlight was kingfisher that whizzed about
before a canoe scared it off! Then on to the Ferry for yet more pics before
heading out on the River Deben path with the corn fields now looking
impressive. Turning off at Kings Fleet we take Marsh Lane to the woods at
The Grove, now being completely spoilt by a huge building site now underway
there, man has the habit of really messing things up:( Through the town
centre stopping at Tesco to buy a local paper as I have a pic in it:) Home
for lunch, I was tempted by another foiling session this afternoon but in
the end decided to give it a miss, the rain arriving did not help. The rain
was short lived so I did my exercises in the back garden before dozing off.
Hopefully I can get out on the water somewhere tomorrow?
