29th November 2022 Hiking - Walking: Holywells Park, Ipswich Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: Tuesday 29th November – walk ***** – Holywells Park, Ipswich – Damp and gloomy. Two proud Grandparents would like to announce the arrival of Maeva Margaret Squirrell born a full 2 months early last Saturday but a surprisingly good weight of 4lbs 5oz, we were amazed when our son Dan with partner Jay arranged a visit for us today at 2 at Ipswich Hospital:) We decided to make the most of the day by packing lunch and driving over to the lovely Holywells park for a walk though the autumn colours. Arriving at midday we did a circuit of the park but although the trees looked magnificent other parts looked tired, not helped by the gloomy winters weather, a lot of the lakes and stream were covered in duck weed, the gardens looked bare and the café and information centre in the old stables is all closed and the children’s adventure park is shut due to a complete refurbishment, that will be great when open! We still enjoyed our walk through the trees spotting loads of squirrels and robins plus the usual ducks, moorhens and coots but no king fisher, egret or heron today and our picnic by the lake was nice. It was then a short drive to the hospital, Mag had left her mobile at home so could not contact Dan for final meeting arrangements but we meet an old friend Dawn who works at the hospital who pointed us in the right direction and were surprised how quickly both Mag and I we in with Maeva in her private room because Jay has tested positive with covid which made for a very private meeting with our first Granddaughter who is an absolute star with such tiny hands and feet, a real miracle! A doctor then fitted a dip to her tiny hand which is when we heard her voice for the first time! Dan then arrived, Jay had to stay in the car until we left and we both got to touch her tiny hands and feet for the first time through the holes in the incubator:) We had a lovely hour before going to see Jay still very sore from her c section and then home. Looks like Maeva will be in hospital a couple of months before coming home which we all cant wait for and look forward to having many adventures together and can’t wait to introduce her to the rest of the family especially Grandson Arlo! Top day :) PS - a bonus in the evening when I got one of todays pics on BBC's Look East :) Photo Album here |
