The good weather continues which was a bit of a shock as it?s a Bank
Holiday Monday which allowed me to do my exercises in the garden while Mag
did her raised beds, her potatoes are coming on well:) Was not sure what we
were doing, there was talk of going to Needham Lake with the Granddaughter
but she is not a 100% we think due to her teeth coming we think, are plans
changed, so with another picnic packed to drive over to Falkenham Church to
have lunch with ?Emily? :) It had clouded over with some amazing skies
again over Suffolk which threatened rain, luckily we only got a brief spell
and the breeze picked up briefly too! We spotted a buzzard sitting on
someone?s garden shed, unfortunately when we stopped to take a pic it flew
off! It was lovely and peaceful sitting at our favourite bench with
fantastic views with the church yard tree full of birds including long
tailed tits, a spotted woodpecker, a robin, then a muntjac deer made a
brief appearance, saw us and quickly ran off! After our yummy lunch we set
off on the route we usually bike down a winding farm track and soon saw
another deer in a field, it was quickly joined by another as they skipped
away, we were pretty sure they were Chinese water deer, which proved
correct when I checked the photos when I got home, always great to see
them. We then saw 5 Roe deer in another field but they were sadly along way
in the distance. A kestrel was also hunting as we ambled along with another
buzzard appearing as well a yellow bird, probably a yellow hammer? We
reach the River Deben path but with the tide low there was very few yachts
out today as we returned inland again back to the church, up until this
point we had seen very few people, just how we like it but a few had now
ventured out for an after lunch stroll. Back through Falkenham church
graveyard a mass of flowers and back to the van for the 5 mile trip back
home, What a top holiday long weekend its been:)
