Wednesday 21st September – bike **** – Sunrise two Rivers including a cuppa at the Ferry – sunny start then cloudy.

We woke at six this morning, with the winds very light and some interesting clouds in the sky we decide to head down to the seafront for the second time this week to catch the sunrise but this time on our bikes with a hot flask:)
We again have trouble with my bike battery so have to do all the peddling once again which is not a problem as it is pretty flat, we reach the prom at 6.30 just in time to see an amazing sunrise, such stunning colours from gold to vibrant red:) We then continue along to the Fludgers with it being nice and quiet even if a tad on the chilly side but a few swimmers were braving a dip with the sea like a mill pool! Inland for a short section before returning to the seafront through the beach huts on the cliff with the sun now shining in a line on the sea towards the beach, at the golf course we stop to take some pics of a cormorant drying its wings against a golden sky:) Then onto the Ferry where we sit on the sit near the jetty for our warming cuppa with great views up the River Deben, still a little misty, ideal for more pics, in fact I get one on BBC’s Look East for the second time this week:) A quick trip around the boat yard before carrying on along the still bumpy Deben path to Kings Fleet, up Marsh Lane to Felixstowe and home. I want to try Mag’s battery on my bike so we swop and I continue via Langer Park to the dock view point, then back through Landguard Nature reserve and back along the prom for breakfast and to sort my pics out.

Prom Walk.

It has clouded over but it was still warm enough to do my exercises in the garden then we did something we haven’t done in years we went for a take away! So, at 1.35 we walked down to the seafront and bought a battered sausage and chips, eating them on the pier sheltered from the cool breeze with nice views up the coast with some threatening black clouds! The meal was yummy too, we really enjoyed it, sharing it with a friendly pigeon while watching three swimmers and a local fisherman laying a net! A short stroll along the prom, up Bent Hill, through the town centre and home, a really lovely day:)

PS - just discovered I got a pic on ITV's About Anglia, so thats both sides on the same day, that puts a smile on my face:)
