Friday 2nd June - walks **** The Dip to Felixstowe Ferry - sunny
periods.
After two pretty full ? on windsurfing sessions and with our van in the
garage today I gave today a miss especially with the NE wind forecast to
blow for another week, the main downside of this run of wind is we are
getting a lot of cloud with temperatures struggling to make double figures
while most of the country is basking in warm sunshine with 20 plus degrees!
Having to take the van in at 8.30 Mag and I decide to get up early and
drive to The Dip for a walk arriving at 7.20 with a good breeze blowing
from the NNE, mainly cloudy but we did get a few breaks in the cloud which
certainly improved things. It was lovely and quiet as we walked along the
prom to Felixstowe Ferry, just the odd walker, a couple having breakfast at
their beach hut and a brave paddle boarder heading up the River Deben, he
then crossed over to Bawdsey beach, goodness knows where he was going? We
bumped into a couple of friends walking back to Felixstowe and stopped for
a chat before continuing to the ferry getting some nice pics when the sun
was out, a few poppies are showing but as usual the pretty valerian.
Through the boatyard and returning along Tomlin Bank full of bloom from the
small trees, many pink and white on the same tree, just lovely. We drop the
van off at the garage and head for home for breakfast, then despite really
aching form my windsurfing I manage to do my exercises in the back garden:)
Then after lunch we walked down to the seafront and back through the town
to pick the van up making it 4.50 miles walked today!
I was then pleased to get another pic on ITV?s About Anglia weather report
this evening for the third day running, on a roll:) So hopefully back on
the water tomorrow at Felixstowe then maybe a trip to the River Stour on
Sunday?
