Day 45 (lock down)
Thursday 7th May - bike **** - Felixstowe to Levington Marina – Sunny and
warm.
It was another sunny, warm day with only a gentle breeze here in Felixstowe
so we thought we would make the most of it with another bike ride thinking
as it is VE Day and a Bank Holiday tomorrow there might be more people
about so will stay home tomorrow. So a day like many before, exercises in
the garden, pack a sandwich and head off to Levington Marina stopping at an
elderly friend enroute to drop some things off and admire her wisteria:) We
spot a couple of hare and then as we cycled through the tree arches three
deer run across the path right in front of Mag:) The tide was high on the
River Orwell and the dead trout had been removed from Loompit Lake. There
were several people out and about walking and the ducks still had all their
youngsters. We got our seat in the BBQ area but there was not much wildlife
just the odd noisy Oyster Catcher and Orange tipped butterfly. We had a
nice chat with the dog walker we meet at Goslings Fishing lakes the other
day out with his wife and lovely dog Oscar! Then we meet another couple we
know so had another catch up with them! It was very pleasant sitting in the
warm sunshine but it was time to head for home over the fields and along by
the railway lines, in fact we saw three trains on today’s ride!
I was getting excited as Boris is talking to the Nation this Sunday with
the promise of unlimited exercise as I was going to put my foil back
together and quick out my windsurfing gear in the hope of getting out this
coming Monday, now the Government seem to be backtracking or perhaps the
dreadful press got ahead of themselves and am not so sure now, will just
have to wait and see what the PM has to say???
We got some sad news this afternoon when I learned that Suffolk Sail from
Woodbridge are closing down due to the present situation, they have been
repairing my sails for several years. In fact, Simon delivered my patched
up 7.8 and had a nice chat. So I would just like to wish Simon and Matt
from Suffolk Sails all the best for the future!
