Wednesday 9th February – bike **** – Around Felixstowe including lunch at Trimley Churches– cloudy, mild with light winds.

After yesterdays windsurf in beautiful weather, I had one eye on the forecast today but although mild it was mainly cloudy with the wind marginal at best, then dropping light in the afternoon. So, as I am not great at walking at the moment due to a dodgy heel it was another bike ride. So, the morning was spent at home, me doing my exercises while Mag had a big bake-up. Then we made a flask for our favourite Bovril and we set off on a mystery tour as I did not tell Mag where we were going??? First stop was Argos to pick up some rechargeable batteries then onto the woods at The Grove, thankfully pretty mud free, it is always nice to see the trees, a couple of squirrels and loads of noisy crows:) Out onto Gulpher Road turning left to Candlet Lane, the sight of all the building work in full swing on the old horse paddocks is absolutely heart-breaking:( Its along way across Candlet Lane but so quiet, in fact we see very few people during the whole bike ride:) Reaching Trimley High Road to take a right to the two churches built within 100m of each other, we have always wondered why the churches are so close together? Although we have driven or rode past these churches 100,s of times we have never gone in. It was lovely too; the huge graveyard was absolutely full of big snowdrops with the daffodils coming through too although not in bloom yet! We found a bench in the middle of the two churches for our lovely Bovril after taking loads of pics of the flowers:) Although cloudy it was very pleasant relaxing with lunch and had a nice chat with a lady walking her dog with stunning blue eyes, she told us assorts juicy snippets about the local area including why there was two churches, apparently it was a failing between a brother and sister, Mary and Martin hence the name of the two villages and we were actually sitting right on the border! Well rested we crossed the huge footbridge over the railway line spotting the white deer in the distance! We made a small detour to see the deer once again in the three-tree field munching cauliflowers, always great to see them, quite a big herd too:) Then back through the tree lined track to Felixstowe and have to stop to pump up my tire! Home for a cuppa and a freshly baked rock, yum yum :)

PS – after taking some pics of Maggie’s garden this morning I got one on ITV,s About Anglia weather :) and got two pics in the local paper, the Star too – top day all round !!!
