Friday 15th April – bike *** – Short two rivers, Orwell to the Deben
– sunny, warm start then sea fog rolls in:)
Being Good Friday and a nice sunny day our plan was to stay at home to
avoid the chaos out on the roads and down on the prom with the fair in full
swing! The usual morning, lay-in, had a panic with Wordle with several
options but managed to get it done in six, lucky guess! Then after
breakfast it was exercises in the sunny back garden with Mag in her
element, gardening, in fact she spent all day pottering and loved every
moment! We had two hot cross buns for lunch just as the sea fog rolled in
and the sun disappeared with the temperature dropping! With Mag happy
gardening I decided to bike down to Landguard Nature Reserve to spot the
coloured bunnies they had put up for the kids to spot:) It was eerie with
the clouds of fog rolling in from the sea as I headed first to Langer Park
and then onto the view point where the fog was very thick! There was no
container ship in the first berth, in fact you could hardly see the cranes
as I continued towards the old jetty spotting coloured bunnies on the way,
in fact I managed to take pics of 8 in the end, sad I know:) There was a
large tugboat in the gloom on the Orwell but no sign of a container ship so
I carried onto the prom which was probably a mistake as it was absolutely
heaving and I do hate crowds but I managed to weave my way slowly through
them and it thinned out a little once past the pier. Then onto the dip end
which was much quieter but the fog was still very thick as I got to
Felixstowe Ferry in time to see the ferry set off. I had a quick chat with
a neighbour working on his wooden yacht before taking the short road way
back for the usual cuppa and start our chocolate hen:) Sorting my pics out
and doing my blog has been a nightmare with my laptop being so slow, it was
better after I ran a scan! Apart from the laptop trouble it has been
another top day despite the interesting weather!
