Friday 22nd November - walks ***** – Around Felixstowe – Sunny
periods, mild and windy.
After yesterdays grey day the sun made an appearance today with Storm Bert
continuing to make its presence felt not the wind was definitely as strong
as forecast! Robert our son spent an hour online trying to get a ticket for
this afternoon game between Ipswich Town and Manchester United and was
lucky enough to get one:) We then had enough time to drive down to The Dip
to coinside with low water so we could have a breezy walk around the vast
shingle bank. Paul Smith was out windsurfing in the waves, shame the wind
was light and gusty closer to the shore but much better further out, I was
not tempted in the slightest, not my conditions even with the temperature a
balmy 14 degrees, I am hoping to get out at Levington tomorrow as Bert
moves away! We also bumped into fellow windsurfer Peter Edmunds and had a
nice chat before moving off along the prom with a tail wind and felling
very mild! Out onto kite beach and round to the shingle spit, much longer
than the last time we walked here and it is strange looking back at the
beach huts near the cliff top car park! We then follow the waters edge
nearly making it to the red channel bouy and you could look right back down
the Deben to the Martello tower as the clouds started to cover the sun! It
is hard going walking on the shingle into a head wind, we were pleased to
reach the prom! Then a quick bite to eat as our other son Dan arrives with
Jay and the lovely Maeva and she gets to open an early birthday from Arlo
before Dan takes Rob to the station to head to Ipswich. After lunch Maeva
falls on asleep on Granny and we watch the game on Sky thanks to a friend:)
Town were very unlucky not to win, playing really well especially in the
first half! Dan picks Rob up from the station and we enjoy a lovely family
meal, yummy toad in the hole – top day:)
