Thursday 25th November – walks **** – Around Felixstowe – sunny but
cold.
Walk 1 – Sunrise, The Dip to Felixstowe Ferry.
Mag wanted to go to Lidl early to see if the ski coat she wanted was in so
we decided to get up early and go for a sunrise walk. We took the van and
arrived at The Dip just past 7 perfect for the 7.30 sun up, sadly there was
a big bank of cloud out to sea so it was a disappointing sunshine as always
it is lovely to be out on a crisp cold morning. We were sheltered from the
NW breeze by the beach huts but when we reached the open golf course things
cooled off very quickly, we were well wrapped up so were fine:) With the
tide quite low a lot of the shingle bar was out which was covered in gulls,
on looking closer we spotted a seal resting too, always great to see one!
There was a hint of colour in the sky now as we walked around The Ferry
boatyard but we have defiantly seen it better so we did not stay long and
set off back. We bumped into an old friend walking her dog and had a quick
chat as the sun was breaking above the clouds really improving the day and
I got some nice pics of the beach huts with a clear blue sky:) Then onto to
Lidl, sadly the ski coat had not arrived but Mag stocked up with storm
Arwen set to arrive over the weekend with strong winds but continuing to be
very cold. So, a great walk then home for some yummy warming porridge
before doing my exercises while Mag even managed to cut the grass.
Walk 2 – Felixstowe prom stroll.
After some more homemade yummy soup we decided to have a quick stroll along
the prom at the end of our road. With the wind offshore it was pleasant
walk, then back through the Spa gardens hoping to see the Jays feeding on
nuts in the Holm Oaks. Again, we were lucky and saw 2/3 Jays, plus
squirrel, magpies and pigeons and stayed for ages watching before walking
through the town to visit the library and home for a warming cuppa. It was
very cold especially with the wind in the north, I defiantly don’t like
the cold, could be a long winter:(
