Thursday 10th March – bike **** – Around Felixstowe including lunch at
Trimley – sunny and mild.
Walk *** - sunrise prom walk :)
Mag was up early so was off for a walk along the prom and for the first
time in ages I decided to join her, leaving home at 6.15 in time to see the
sunrise:) Reaching the cliff top at the end of our road there was hardly a
cloud in the sky which means a pretty boring sunrise. With the breeze SE,
onshore it was a bit choppy as we set off towards the Spa theatre as the
sun just appeared on the horizon and was soon a big red ball:) I got a few
pics including nice ones of a pigeon sitting on the rock groynes watching
it rise. Then up onto the cliff top and home to sort out my pics, sending
some to the local TV weather.
Bike ****
Then a top morning at home and for the second morning running I did my
exercises in the back garden, spring is definitely in the air now! I then
made a yummy cheese and ham sandwich and then decided where we were going
to eat it? On a perfect day for cycling, we left home around 12.30 heading
for the bench at the top of the lane leading down to Loompit Lake at
Trimley St. Mary. As usual we try to avoid as many roads as possible so
take the footpath by the cemetery, around the Academy school full of bloom
eventually leading to our favourite tree lined track with the sky the
deepest blue which is my favourite colour! Nice and quiet too with just a
few dog walkers, a farmer ploughing but sadly no deer today but the fish
were back in the little pond:). We have a relaxing picnic with great views
across rolling countryside with the River Orwell down to the left. Well
rested we head back, over the huge footbridge over the railway line and
onto Candlet Lane. On Gulpher Road I carry on all the way to the sea while
Mag turns off and heads for home. I watch a yacht sail by and head up the
Deben before carrying on, spotting windsurfing mate once again flying his
model glider in the ideal onshore breeze. Down to the prom at The Fludgers
with the sea sparkling in the sunshine. I take a few pics on the peir
before biking up the hill and home. Cuppa and cake time and discover O had
a pic in yesterdays Star and was 1st place in the Lets Talk readers pics
page, its been a top week for my pics. I was also picked as Editor’s
Choice on the BBC weather but I bet they don’t pick my pick to us on the
telly tonight!
There are a few days of wind coming but the tides are not ideal and with
some rain but will still head over to Levington and see how I get on. SE
tomorrow which is really good on the Orwell!
