Monday 16th - bike ***** - Short Two Rivers, Orwell to the Deben – Sunny
and hot:).
After yesterday’s epic 5-hour 20-mile bike ride we thought about taking
it easy today but woke to another sunny warm day so Mag and I decided to
take our morning cuppa to the pier at Landguard. We left a little later
today heading down to the prom this time turning right and the gulls were
again busy taking rubbish out of the bins while further along the local
oafs had pushed a wheelie bin full of rubbish onto the beach:( We bumped
into a nice lady, the Grandma of one of the kids we used to childmind who
has sadly just lost her husband and had a nice chat with her. There were
defiantly more people about this morning but they thinned out when we left
the prom and entered Landguard Reserve and were greeted by the local
Linnets:) Then past some Shell ducks, a Lapwing and a Plover. We sat on the
wooden sleepers on the old pier right by the River Orwell for our cuppa
watching the action, the pilot boat heading out to a huge container ship,
yachts and fishing boats to with cormorant’s drying their wings with turn
diving for fish, just lovely:) I then walk out along the pier while Mag
makes a little video for the Grandson Arlo and I am amazed to spot a
squirrel with just sits by the sleepers not in the slightest bothered and
miles from the nearest trees!!!! We then go to the viewing point but there
are not many ships in Felixstowe dock so head back to the prom. Mag then
returns home while I continue onto Felixstowe Ferry to complete the
two-river ride and back through The Grove. I then ride through the town
centre to see the score now the shops are open but several shops are still
closed and there were not many queues but to be honest we both hate
shopping only going food shopping every couple of weeks and for everything
else we use the internet:) Then home for breakfast and exercises in the
garden before going to see our old friend Mary in her front garden.
