Tuesday 28th November - walks ***** – Sunrise The Dip to Felixstowe
Ferry and Around Felixstowe with Maeva - sunny but chilly.
Walk 1.
With wall to wall sunshine forecast Mag and I decided to get up early and
drive down to The Dip for a sunrise walk to Felixstowe Ferry arriving at
7.10. The sky was clear inland but there was a big bank of cloud on the
horizon so it looked like sunrise might be a little delayed as we set of
along the quiet prom with the wind light it was ideal for walking:) We got
to the Martello with no sign of a decent sunrise, just a glimpse of sun as
it broke the horizon but we bumped into an old friend out walking her dog
and stopped for a chat. The full moon was still showing well and I get some
nice pics of it as we walked around the boatyard as the sun started to
appear above the bank of clouds. It was lovely walking back with everything
bathed in a golden light, with the wind offshore the sea was flat but there
was some great waves the other side of the shingle bar with a couple of
small boats heading out against the tide. The sky was the most amazing blue
as we walked back the way we came past the beach huts on the beach recently
rearranged by the recent high tides and I got some nice pics of the waves
once again breaking against the concrete steps:) Mag spotted a huge cloud
in the shape of a pigeon and took a pic which was featured on ITV,s About
Anglia for the second day running and another one chosen as BBC editers
pick:) We were out over two hours walking 3 miles, what a brilliant start
to the day. Home for breakfast and exercises before being asked to have
Maeva for the afternoon:)
Walk 2.
So after lunch we walked around to pick up the lovely Maeva and then spent
the afternoon with Mary our old friend and got some fantastic cuddles from
Maeva:) We walked another 2.75 miles so two old people are pretty knackered
but it was worth it as we had a great day:)
