Monday 23rd March – bike ***** – Felixstowe to Levington Church – sunny and warm.

With no sign of this large high pressure moving, we have another day of blue skies with light winds being much warmer today here on the coast:) So exercises once again in the garden before making a sandwich and for the third day in a row we head out on our bikes, going a little further today and ended up near Levington Church for lunch. Leaving home at 12.40 we soon pass the huge Uniserve warehouse and out into the country, a container train stopped at a red light waves us across a level crossing before taking the tree lined route all the way to Loompit lake spotting some deer several butterflies and loads of blue tits. The River Orwell looked lovely with hardly a ripple with a few boats out enjoying the light airs, Loompit had several birds, we had a fly past from a heron with loads of Tufted and Pochard diving for weed. We continue into the marina before carrying along the very bumpy river path around Levington creek and up towards Levington Church, sitting on the bench with stunning views down to the river with 40/50 deer relaxing in the field below including two stags with impressive antlers with a robin singing in a near-by tree and a buzzard circling overhead, just perfect, it was good to get the coats off as we were slightly overdressed today! We enjoyed our sandwich which we shared with the robin who came very cross and were in no hurry to move away. It was quite popular with several people walking down to the river enjoying the perfect spring weather:) Well rested we take the roads home through the pretty Levington village, a mass of several different sorts of daffodils. The cycle track that runs alongside the very busy A 14 is quite scary with loads of lorries heading towards you. We then bump into windsurfing mate Mark Swain out in his swanky MG sports car with the roof down and stop for a chat, through the villages of Trimley and Walton and home for some well-deserved sponge cake and a cuppa. Once again no pics on the local weather but two in the paper:)
