Tuesday 15th August – walk **** Around Felixstowe – sunny and hot.
After 4 consecutive days of some full-on windsurfing, I was pleased to wake
to lighter winds and wall to wall sunshine but instead of taking things
easy we ended going on a 4 mile plus walk around Felixstowe! The usual
start to the day with the many word games we do, followed by exercises in
the sunny back garden, then being a Tuesday out day to visit an old friend,
we have lunch at home before walking around to Mary’s. We had arranged to
take her out in her electric wheelchair but had trouble with the battery so
had to take the motor off which meant me pushing her, which was OK. Our
plan was to take her down to the seafront to see the ferries wheel a new
attraction here until October so we set off around 2.30, passing our house
to show her Mags lovely front garden in full bloom. Then down for a quick
spin around Lidl, through Langer Park leading to Felixstowe Prom down near
the amusements where the wheel stands in all its glory. It would have been
nice to take Mary for a spin on the wheel but there was a big queue and
disabled access looked very poor with a big step to access and leave which
I was very surprised to see in this day and age, perhaps there is a
disabled ramp somewhere else and didn’t see it??? We continued along the
prom which was way too crowded for our liking but great for people
watching! A quick trip around the pier to the Spa Theatre and up the slope
called the pram walk, through the town centre and walk to Marys knackered
for a well deserved cuppa and cake, we all enjoyed our afternoon and were
surprised we had walked over 4 miles!
