Sunday 30th January – bike ***** – Around Felixstowe including lunch
with ‘Emily’ – sunny with great sunset :)
After yesterday’s full-on foil/fin windsurf sessions making the most of
Storm Malik with winds gusting to 40 knots my poor old heel was really
playing up despite all the exercises I have been doing lately and I could
hardly get up the stairs to bed last night. Luckily this morning I woke
with it with it feeling slightly better meaning I could continue to do my
exercises and as it was such a lovely day, wall to wall sunshine with light
winds, amazing really after yesterday’s strong wind with more gales
hitting the UK tonight! It was too good a day not to do something and with
walking difficult for me at the moment we decided to head over to see
‘Emily’ again at our favourite Falkenham Church! Lunch was easy a flask
of hot water for cuppa soup and a couple of tangerines, leaving home around
12.20 we headed inland avoiding the very busy prom, in fact we only saw a
few walkers the whole bike ride, just how we like it:) Down past the Grove
Park to Marsh Lane and onto Kings Fleet where we spotted a huge flock of
geese grazing in a field of winter wheat! There were several swans actually
on the water on Kings Fleet so I rode over to take some pics and was
treated to a fly past of swans as they took to the air right in front of
me, just amazing! Continuing up the farm track with lovely trees set
against the deep blue sky, just perfect and reached Falkenham Church to
find our seat free once again. The snowdrops are now in full bloom so I set
about taking a few pics before enjoying our picnic in complete peace and
quiet with the usual stunning views down to the Deben with several little
birds flitting about in the trees! Well rested we continue on our way to
Kirton, then Trimely and the temperature has definitely dropped now. Down
Grimston Lane spotting a few deer before taking the tree lined path back to
Felixstowe. Another top bike ride around Felixstowe enjoying the best that
Felixstowe has to offer.
Tomorrows wind is coming from the NW, cold too so I will save myself till
Tuesday when I can hopefully get my first session of February at my
favourite winter venue, Levington Marina!
PS - we were then treated to a fantastic sunset :)
