Monday 21st October - walk *** – Rushmere Common near Ipswich –
cloudy.
With my Dad back to Ipswich hospital after a couple of days at Addenbrooks
in Cambridge we we set to visit him which left me free to do my exercises,
not in the garden today as cloudy but no rain, Mag still managed to do some
pruning before I packed a picnic and we headed off to Rushmere around
12.30. We parked near the start of the footpath to the common and set off
looking for a bench for lunch, it was a lovely leafy walk to start when we
got a message from my sister saying Dad had had a set back and was not up
for visitors:( So we just did a long circuit of the common, just us
enjoying the peace and quiet with a few friendly dog walkers and loads of
golfers! We saw a few noisy squirrels and a few jays, we could not find a
bench so sat on a concrete block to enjoy our egg sandwiches! Then back to
the van and home via Felixstowe Ferry just in time to catch the forecast
high tide which was pretty identical as last Saturdays. Once again I got
wet feet paddling to get a few pics and was lucky enough to get one on
ITV’s About Anglia which included Mags back once again! There was a van
by the lovely Air b and b boat house where the tenders are stored at the
bottom of the boatyard. We spoke to a lovely young lady who said they are
filming places of interest in Suffolk, fingers crossed the weather is
better for them tomorrow! Then home for a cuppa and surprisingly it cleared
enough for another brief but nice sunset!
