Wednesday 22nd September – walk **** – Orwell Country Park circuit –
sunny and warm.
Another cracking day, deep blue sky and warm, August has been a cracker,
might get even better tomorrow as a westerly breeze is forecast:) Usual
morning at home, exercises in the back garden while Mag pots her bulbs,
there was a hint of a breeze building but it looked marginal and being high
water, I decided to pack a picnic and we drove to the outskirts of Ipswich
parking up at Orwell Country Park. We set off through the bluebell woods
with the flowers now replaced by lovely ferns and we did not see a soul,
just how we like it:) Reaching the River Orwell there was a nice onshore
breeze and the tide had only just turned so it was tight walking along the
beach towards the bridge. We found a nice spot for our yummy, healthy salad
under some trees with good views of the bridge watching several yachts out
on the river:) Well rested we continue under the huge Orwell Bridge with
its none stop noisy traffic and take the path that runs parallel to the A
14 and back to the van. We then do some shopping; I head to Sports direct
as I need sone wetsuit shoes and I find them for £13 but also buy three
nice Hot tuna t-shirts:) Mag goes to B & Q to get some gardening shoes and
plants. Home where we have just enough time for a cuppa and cake after
first visiting Lidl and checking out The Dip and picking up some shelves
from the Ferry. Fingers crossed for some breeze tomorrow as I haven’t
been windsurfing for a while now!
