Monday 2nd May – bike **** – Around Felixstowe with lunch at Falkenham Church – cloudy.

After avoiding the prom at Felixstowe due to the crowds watching the vintage cars, we thought it best avoided as we don’t like old cars or crowds so had some old friends around in the morning and watched a film in the afternoon, weather not brilliant jut grey really. Being Bank Holiday, the grey continued and again we wanted to avoid the busy prom so spent the morning at home, me doing me exercises while Mag pottered in the garden, she is a little feed up as several of her plants are being attacked by small flies:( I then suggested we drive over to Hemley Church for a picnic but she thought it might be crowded so we headed out on the bikes to one of our old favourites, Falkenham Church. Leaving home around 1.30 and once we had made it to The Grove park, we saw next to no people which was just lovely as we headed down Marsh Lane, the rape field is still in full bloom, smells strong too! With several small birds flitting about. Reaching Kings Fleet, we turn away from the River Deben reaching our seat at Falkenham church to enjoy our picnic in complete peace and quiet with some interesting clouds too. The church yard is full of cow paisley with a few bluebells and we spot a small deer in the field in front of us, not sure if it’s a muntjac or Chinese water deer? Well rested we take the shorter route back over bridle ways and foot paths across fields with various crops now coming along well! We pass four new blue tractors sorting out irrigation and drilling salad crops, stopping to have a word with one of the farmers asking what they are planting, very nice young man too:) Back to Candlet Lane leading to Walton and home, a very pleasant afternoon, out 2hrs 45mins covering 11 miles:)
