Wednesday 13th July – bike ***** – Felixstowe to Levington for breakfast – sunny periods and warm.

Got up around 6.30 with Mag already downstairs cleaning the patio door! We decide to head out early to avoid the heat of the day so I pack our breakfast. We are on the road at 7 with some great clouds but also the usual blue sections too. We have to drop a letter at out sons before taking the shortest and quickest route to our breakfast destination, the bench overlooking the River Orwell near Levington Church:) So it was straight along Trimley High Road and along the cycle path by the busy A 14. Sadly, we see loads of road kill including a deer, weasel, squirrel, magpie but on the plus side we saw a live fox, 5 deer, two green woodpeckers, some black tailed godwits, swans, geese, wagtails, black headed gulls to name but a few:) It was great to be out early, nice temperature to be cycling, in fact because the roads were so flat, we rarely used the e-wheel only switching it on to help us up the hills! Reaching the lovely church at Levington I go and take some pics while Mag heads for the bench. We are soon enjoying a cuppa with Weetabix and fruit, well yummy. We chat to a few dog walkers and are entertained by a pair of noisy green woodpeckers and 4/5 deer in the field below us:) Well rested we take the footpath down to the quiet Levington Creek, ignoring the no cycling sign to head to Levington marina which is full of weed! Then around to Loompit lake which is full of swans and geese again with Godwits feeding in the river mud! Then back along our favourite tree lined track, stopping to feed the fish in the little pond before several dogs go for a swim! Then home for another cuppa before doing my exercises in the garden, not so hot today as much cloudier. The light NW wind is supposed to turn easterly around one and build to 17 knots so hopefully will get a foil this afternoon:)
