Saturday 5th October - walks *** – Around Felixstowe – sunny
periods.
Walk 1 – Felixstowe Ferry.
I had to queue up with loads of old people at 9.45 to get my flu and covid
jab at our doctors, what a top service it was too and was back home by 10:)
I then decided to head down to Felixstowe Ferry to snap a few weather pics
and got there just in time to watch the kids set off for their Saturday
morning dinghy racing, the wind was fairly light and the tide was whizzing
in too, at this point it was fairly cloudy too! Drove back via The Fludyers
where loads of open water dippers were taking the plunge in the flat sea.
Mag was still busy seeving her compost, she just loves doing that! Photos
sorted, then breakfast in the garden as the sun makes an appearance turning
the day nice and warm. Mag then makes a huge shepards pie with me doing the
mash before heading back into the garden to do my exercises and chop some
kindling.
Walk 2 – Cordys Lane Curcuit.
As the weather was so nice and the forecast breeze had failed to arrive we
decided to make a flask and drive to Cordys Lane in Trimley for a walk and
have our cuppa with a nice view down to the Orwell over rolling Suffolk
farmland. The car park was packed but we were lucky that someone was just
leaving so we parked and headed down the lane towards Trimley Marshes. The
seat we wanted was taken but found another which was OK even if it was in
the shade! After our cuppa and snack we did not want to walk too far so
after a bit turned right and did the dog walkers circuit, in fact we saw
loads of dog walkers, we were the only ones out walking without a dog! The
highlight was spotting 4 dragonflies taking in the sunshine on a log and
the ivy plant in bloom was full of loads of different bees and wasps,
spotted a butterfly too! We completed the loop and headed back to
Felixstowe driving to the cliff top car park to check the wind and yes it
was light! Home for a cuppa and the lovely Mag makes my Birthday cake for
tomorrow, might even get a windsurf foil too:)
