Monday 15th January - walk *** – Around Ipswich – sunny, breezy and
cold.
As Mag had to have a cataract down today in Ipswich, her second to be done,
the first was 15 years ago! We had to be in Ipswich at 8.15 so with a frost
forecast we put an old towel on our van windscreen which made our early
start easy. We drove to Ipswich in wall to wall sunshine but with a good
westerly blowing it was pretty cold and we got a glimpse of the sun rising
as we crossed the Orwell Bridge:) Mag was first to be seen so I left her to
it and walked to the waterfront as it procedure was supposed to take an
hour and a half I thought I had loads of time to take a few weather pics
and look for a little something to give Mag after the operation:) I
followed the River Gipping all the way to Stoke bridge well wrapped up
against the cold but it was lovely in the winter sunshine. I got some nice
pics of Ipswich waterfront before heading up into the town centre and
managed to find Mag something nice in the Fatface shop but boy do I hate
shopping, isn’t that whats the internet is for! Then all I had to do was
walk the two miles back, so back to the waterfront and I followed the same
route back. I found mag in the waiting room chatting to loads of pensioners
having the same operation, she had been waiting for ages and thought I had
fallen into the river! In fact the operation only took a few minutes and
she was free to go after only half an hour, no eye patch either, just
amazing! We then drive the scenic route back via Levington for our second
breakfast. Then Jay brings the lovely Maeav around to brighten Mags day,
she was a complete star:)
