Sunday 13th October - walk **** – Circuit of Rushmere Common near
Ipswich – Some sunny periods.
Thought we would visit my Dad at Ipswich in the afternoon which left me
free to do my exercises, not much sunshine, a tad chilly so the door was
shut, the heater on and T. Rex playing on the record player:) Mag suggested
we park away from the hospital and walk through Rushmere Common so I found
a good spot to park off Penzance Road in Rushmere so after a quick bite to
eat at home we set off, finding the ideal parking place at two a short
distance from the start of the path. It was a lovely tree lines path
leading to the common which was very pleasant, nice and quiet too, just us
a few dog walkers and several golfers as the common has an 18 hole golf
course! We get a phone call from my sister who has just visited Dad with an
Aunt and asks if we can get a paper. Iy was about a mile to the hospital,
my Dad has been moved and is now 6 floors up in the air. He did not seem
too bad, has been eating and drinking a little more but sleeping is hard at
night with noisy other patients and the lights on, hospitals are not the
best places and need to be avoided if possible! We had an hour with him
before returning to the common heading the other way back, in fact we did a
complete circuit of it! We come home along lots of narrow county lanes and
were lucky enough to spot a hare:)
