Tuesday 28th February – walk **** Circuit of Christchurch Park in
Ipswich – cloudy with cold northerly wind.
With Mag having a full cast fitted today early at Ipswich Hospital we left
Felixstowe at 8.30 but not before I sorted out a few pics I had taken at
Felixstowe Ferry last night. I had headed down there at 9.30 in hope of
seeing the Northern Lights not leaving until 12.15, sadly I didn’t see
the aurora but really enjoyed being out enjoying the stunning night sky
with a great half moon with some top clouds, I think the coloured sky
seemed to appear around 9 so probably missed it:( Mag was quickly
replastered, then had an X – Ray , lastly the doctor said the wrist was
set fine and we booked an appointment for her to have the cast off in 4
weeks:)
It was then a short drive over to Christchurch and we entered the Park at
11, it was cloudy but the light rain we had when leaving the hospital had
thankfully stopped. We took the long straight path across the park to the
tennis court side and found a bench for our cuppa and chocolate biscuit and
were soon surrounded by very friendly grey squirrels who took a liking to
the peanuts we had taken to feed them. We also had visits from Great Tits,
a robin, pigeons, a magpie and we were lucky enough to see 3 jays too.
Being out of the cold northerly breeze we had a really pleasant, relaxing
time before setting off again, past the wild lake and over to the Grand
mansion house. It is free to enter and we actually went in and were
impressed by the friendly staff and interesting things to see, we even
bought a cuddly Jay for Jay our son Dans partner and mother to our new
Granddaughter Maeva, it even calls when you squeeze it:) Then over to the
round lake and through the wild nature section with yet more squirrels
before returning to the van to head for home.
We then had a great afternoon with the lovely Maeva who is now all smiles
at the moment:) Great day!
