Saturday 26th October - walks *** – Around Felixstowe – sunny/misty
sunrise then cloudy.
Walk 1 – Felixstowe Ferry sunrise.
Mag and I both had a disturbed night as full of germs, I did go off
eventually but woke at the usual 6 with Mag then making a drink, I dozed
for an hour before deciding to drive down to Felixstowe Ferry to catch the
sunrise as the winds were light and I was hoping for some mist over the
Deben:) There was a bank of cloud on the horizon so sunrise would be
delayed but there was already several golfers out on the course despite the
dewy conditions with mist inland as usual but not much over the river.
Parking just before 7.30 I walked to the boatyard and I have had better
morning as there was a touch of breeze on the water messing with the
reflections. I then walked to the Martello tower as the sun made on
appearance getting a lovely golden colour so after taking a few picks I
headed back to the boatyard to get some nice shoots with the sun on the
boats, seeing a very friendly robin and a kingfisher whiz past:) I had a
nice chat with another photographer I have seen here a few times before as
an interesting bank of cloud quickly covered the sun not to be seen again
today! Home to sort out my pics to send to the TV weather and was chuffed
to get one on the ITV, got to love Chris Page:)
Walk 2 – Around Felixstowe.
Then after lunch and cancelling a family visit to Surrey tomorrow, we
couldn’t face the drive when feeling under the weather Mag and I headed
out for a walk thinking we needed some air! Around the houses, past Lidl
and down to the busy prom where we walked around the pier watching the
gulls, the tide was low exposing loads of beach with the ugly grey rock
groynes stretching as far as the eye could see:( Ambling along we turn into
the Spa gardens by the theatre and bump into birdwatching friend Roger and
stop for a chat before going to Gregs to get a couple of donuts and home to
enjoy them with a cuppa:)
