Sunday 4th September – walk **** – Felixstowe prom with lunch at Jacobs
Ladder – sunny and hot.
I don’t usually post these prom walks but it was such a nice one I
decided to make an exception:) There was a hint of a foiling breeze in the
forecast today but it did not come with the onshore wind remaining light so
had a relaxing Sunday morning in the garden, me doing my exercises in the
warm sunshine while Mag potters in the garden all the time being
entertained by the too cats, mainly butterfly chasing:) We had hoped go
visit relatives in Ipswich but they were not available so I made lunch, as
it was getting on we did not fancy a bike ride or to drive anywhere in the
van so Mag suggested we walk down to the beach. We didn’t get down until
2, Mag wanted to stop at the end of our road but I persuaded her walk to
the end of the prom at Jacobs Ladder where I thought it would be quieter.
There were loads of people enjoying the fantastic weather, sunny and hot
with a light onshore breeze, ideal for loads of yachts, the coastwatch boat
passed, there were paddle boarders and kids swimming in the sea, even a
young lad learning to windsurf, there was birthday celebrations behind
colourful windbreaks and a lovely selection of colourful beach parasols :)
We found a quiet spot for our yummy picnic with once again a selection of
Mags fantastic tomatoes, its been a good year for them and were entertained
by several dogs swimming in the sea having a great time they were:) A
little funky sailing dinghy sailed fast eventually landing at the Fludgers
and we were joined by a gull wanting to share our lunch, all very lovely.
Well rested we walk back and with the breeze on our backs it was very warm
too, there was life music playing in the Spa gardens but it was a religious
thing so did not stop. Home for a cuppa and a yummy ice cream too, cheap
too as it was out of the freezer:)
