Thursday 24th February – walk **** – Landguard Nature Reserve circuit
– Rain/hail in morning then sunny periods with some top clouds:).
The day started wet with both rain and hail so stayed at home and did my
exercises, will sort my heel out if it kills me! Then after lunch the sun
started to make brief appearances and having windsurfed the last couple of
days decided to give it a miss today so Mag and I headed down to the lovely
Landguard Nature Reserve for a walk after a quick stop at Lidl. With a
brisk west wind, we wrapped up well, parked free in the road at The Manor
and set off along the footpath at 2 with some amazing clouds blowing
across. Not many birds, we got close to a crow searching for tea in the
grass who was not in the slightest bit bothered by us. The yellow gorse was
in full bloom and there were rabbits everywhere out munching on the grass
as it was very quiet, just how we like it! We continued to the River Orwell
where a small survey boat, The Patriot was sailing back and forth close to
the shore with several cormorant’s heading to Loompit lake. In fact, it
was quite busy out to sea with the Harwich Ferry, the polit boat and a
large container ship heading in all framed by the top sky with the windfarm
on the horizon! Along the wooden walkway, across the heath to the sea wall
and along the sea wall back to the van with what looked like rain falling
on the north of Felixstowe! Only a couple of miles but that is as far as I
want to walk at the moment especially with Mag not feeling a 100% either!
Home for yummy homemade cake with a cuppa and my good week for pictures
continues as I get one of this afternoon pics on the ITV About Anglia’s
weather:)
Some breeze coming over the coming days but with poor tides for my river
venue and still not keen on open sea sailing I am not sure what to do?
