Wednesday 24th August – bike **** – Around Felixstowe including lunch
near Levington Church– sunny and hot :(
Another hot sunny day here in Felixstowe, exercises in the back garden
while checking the wind strength but it looked marginal so I made some
yummy egg sandwiches and despite the heat we set off on our bikes for
Levington. Being late setting off today, we did not leave home until one we
went the quickest way, straight through the two Trimleys leading to the
bike path along side the A 14, with a dock strike:( it was fairly quiet and
with a tail wind we whizzed along! Then through Levington village with
sunflowers on loads of houses making Ukraine National Day to the lovely
church and onto our bench looking down over the Rive Orwell below us with a
good breeze blowing up the hill, it had definitely picked up! Too hot for
any deer in the field below we quickly got a tube of blackberries before
tucking into our lovely sandwiches and enjoying the view! Our peace was
then broken by someone strimming the reed bed below which spoked a mother
deer with a fawn which did a circuit of the field below, she was barking
like a dog, lovey to see the youngster, they soon found cover again but two
more deer were frightened out up the field the other side! Well rested we
to continued down to Levington creek, along the Orwell to Levington Marina
where we bumped into fellow foiler Jamie for a quick chat. Around Loompit
lake full of geese and swans leading to the cooler tree lined path and home
for a welcome cuppa and cake. The temperature is set to drop tomorrow as it
is way too hot today with hopefully some proper rain too:) No wind for a
few days which is good as we have the Grandson visiting at the weekend then
we might have another run of east to North east winds coming:)
