Tuesday 7th January - walks *** – Around Trimley and Felixstowe –
sunny and cold.
The cold snap of weather continues but at least the sun is out and the sky
is blue which always makes things look better. As it is Tuesday our day for
an afternoon visit to see Mary Mag and I were keen to to get out for a walk
to make the most of the sun! So after my exercises and breakfast we decided
to drive again to start our walk from the Trimley churches and to show Mag
the first of the snowdrops! We parked in Church Lane at 11.15 and went with
wellies today, Mag tried a pair we found at my Dads bungalow which belonged
to Shirley and set off for a circuit of the church yard looking better
today set against a blue sky, spooking some rabbits and seeing a pair of
blue tits flitting about! We then head down Church Lane to farm to
Crowswell Way taking the path which winds through the tree right next to
the A 14 sliproad! Across Howlett Way and through the houses of Trimley St.
Martin to the new Wimpey houses, across the muddy fields to the large green
footbridge, we walk to the top to take in the view but stay on the Trimley
side as we don’t want to walk too far as my heel is still not great and
Mag is having trouble with her back and neck:( I got a nice pic of the
reflections in a large puddle as the farmland is pretty wet, back to Gun
Lane we cross the High Road to the van and home for lunch, yummy homemade
soup.
Then we walk to the cliff top to see the sea and spot several container
ships off Felixstowe, through the town and end up at Mary's for a cuppa and
chat.
For the second day the lovely Chris Page on ITV’s About Anglia uses one
of my pics on his weather forecast:)
