Wednesday 20th December - walk ***** – Christchurch Park in Ipswich
- cloudy.
Our last full day with our son Robert and Grandson Arlo and we certainly
made full use of it and had a fantastic day. It started with Arlo and
myself walking down to Felixstowe seafront to see the sunrise which was
really nice, got some OK pics too, getting two chosen as BBC editers picks
but sadly I don’t think they will make it on the TV:( I had a appointment
for a hearing test at Ipswichc and so we packed a picnic heading to the
hospital around 9.30. The test went well and my hearing is not bad enough
for hearing aids:) We then all drive over to the other side of Ipswich for
a cuppa and mince pie with the lovely Auntie Diane and had a great catch-up
chat. Then it was over to Christchurch Park getting a good parking spot in
Park Road, we had the most fantastin time in this beautiful pack, Ipswich
certainly has some top parks:) We started playing with Arlos amazing flying
ball and were soon surrounded by 10 squirrels all keen for some of the
peanuts we had taken, they are real chubbers, they were feeding out of
Arlos hand too:) Then over to the round lake for our picnic and had great
fun feeding the black headed gulls. Lunch out of the way we headed over to
the mansion which is free, they had an animal exhibition which included
painting by Consatble and Gainborough, we did a complete tour of the house
too, loved it:) It was getting dark with a few spots of rain too as we
walked to the kids playground, more flying ball until it ran out of
batteries then realalised we were way over our two hours parking time but
we were lucky enough not to get a ticket! Then home for a warming cuppa and
finish watching Home Alone 2. Storm Pia arrives tomorrow but we are taking
Robert and Arlo to Ipswich to catch the train home before they drive to
Liverpool for another Christmas! It has been a top visit, just brilliant to
get our two wonderful Grandson together, we are so lucky:)
