Monday 24th June - walk ***** – Landguard circuit including a picnic
– sunny and hot.
The heatwave continues with another hot sunny day with a light onshore
breeze, I whizzed down to Felixstowe Ferry at 6.30 to take some pics to
send to the TV weather. I was amazed to get a BBC Editers pick but as yet
it hasn’t made it onto the telly although it has been used online by BBC
radio in both Suffolk and Norfolk so that’s better than nothing, I am
still waiting to get a pic on TV this month! The poppies at the cliff top
car park continue to look great and I bumped into an old friend for a quick
chat, she also sennds pics into the weather under the name of Jet! Then
home for breakfast and to do my exercises in a pretty warm back garden
while Mag gets up to allsorts including cleaning the front windows before
the sun gets on them! As we needed a few things from Lidl Mag suggested we
take our lunch to Landguard to sit by the Orwell which was a great idea as
I had a message on Facebook saying that the research boat, The Sir David
Attennburgh was leaving Harwich at 2! With our packed lunch, another yummy
salad packed we arrive at The Manor at 1.15 and amble across the very quiet
nature reserve which is still covered in wild flowers, the best we have
ever seen and is well worth a visit! There are a few container ships at
Felixstowe docks but no sign of BoatyMcBoatFace as we reach our picnic spot
on the old pier, very pleasant with a nice breeze blowing with several
yachts out too. Then around 2.40 we see movement and the Sir David turns
the corner into the Orwell, slowly making its way past the container ships,
A few people had come to watch with even more at the view point I thinks as
there has been lots of pics on Facebook! It takes to around 3 for it to
reach the open sea, then Mag and I walk back along the waters edge with a
few people enjoying a peaceful afternoon on the beach. Back at the van and
after a quick trip to Lidl we are home for a welcome cuppa and a reduced
price cake from Tesco! Looks like its going to be even hotter tomorrow so
we are hoping bike to the water ski jetty onn the Deben early for breakfast
before it gets too hot!
