6th November 2024 Hiking - Walking: Woodbridge Wind Direction: Wind Stength: light airs Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: 3.62 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Wednesday 6th November - walk ***** – Around Woodbridge – cloudy :(. The day started badly when we learned that Trump had won the American election how anyone can vote for that horrible man is beyond me, the world has gone to ‘shite’ :( The gloom continues to envelope Suffolk but we were having our ray of sunshine, the lovely Maeva for the day, as we are picking her up at 10.30 it gave me time to do my exercises bedfore packing lunch and driving round to pick her up. After a chat with Jay we set off driving over to Woodbridge in light drizzle, luckily that quickly stopped and we had a day of light winds and moody grey hanging over the River Deben, quite pretty really! We managed to park nesr the childrens play area just down the road from Notcutts Garden centre. We left the luch in the van and set off across the park having to cross the railway track and set off along the lovely tree lined path leading towards Kyson Point as a train passed, in fact we saw several today:) We spotted cows in the marshy pasture near the river too and when we reached the Deben path it was beautiful with a few small yachts moored out on the River Deben making some cool reflections, the tide was quite low but coming in and the mud was alive with loads of waders including avocets, curlews, redshanks, egrets and a large selection of ducks and it was lovely and quiet too, the fewset people we have ever seen here at Woodbridge:) We ambled along the path taking in the beauty with Maeva calling to the ducks with me stopping now and again to take a few picks! Maeva had discovered the biscuit tin and had had a few by the time we reached the Tide Mill where we stopped to feed a family of swans with some bread we had taken, they did hiss at us quite loadly :) We turned at the Mill, had a quick look at the progress of the Saxon Longship before walking back towards the Sailing club and checking out the small model yacht pond surrounded by some amazing trees with fantastic coloured leaves. Back across the railway line through an avenue of tress in full Autumn colour, Maeva was not impressed when I put a handful of leaves on her head! Then onto the kids play area which we had to ourselves and Maeva enjoyed her swing with Granny but was not so keen on the zip wire ride with me! Back to the van to enjoy our lunch, Maeva loves spending time in our little van. Then we walk up the road to Notcutts to buy my sister a c ouple of plants and to show Maeva the Christmas grottos full of light and decorations, she was suitably unimpressed :) Maeva then fell asleep on the way back to the van and stayed that way until we got home! We then had fun reading book and listening to old disco hits from the 70’s and Maeva is a top dancer too:) After tea, her jammies on she is still full of life mainly kissing pics of her mum and dad on Mags phone before her Dad picked her up, I think she will sleep well tonight!
