Monday 16th June - walk ***** – Around Felixstowe – sunny and
hot.
Woke to a sunny, warm morning so decided to have a drive round to take a
few weather pics, leaving home at 6.30 I headed down to Felixstowe pier
first, continuing onto the cliff top car park to take a few pics of the
poppies which were covered in bees. Then onto Felixstowe where I saw the
very sad sight of a dead fox club in the road, probably someone driving too
fast:( After a few pics of the boats I stopped at Brackenbury for some
beach hut shoots and was pleased when the lovely Chris Page used one on
ITV’s About Anglia, the same pic was also chosen as an BBC Editors Pick
and was featured online but sadly it did not make it onto the TV!
Back to bed for a drink and do the usual word games, with no plans for
today I was going to do my exercises and then go for a picnic somewhere. We
then had a message from our son Dan saying their problems with leaking
pipes was continuing and he had taken the morning off to assist the plumber
so we asked if we could take Maeva to help them out to which they said yes!
Dan brought Maeva at 11, had a shower and then went to work! Maeva helped
Mag hang out the washing, throw a few pine cones before asking for
something to eat, her favourite crackers and cheese triangles. I then
packed a picnic and we left home just after one to walk down to Jacobs
Ladder for a picnic on the beach, after being very hot in our back garden
it was very pleasant down on the seafront with a nice onshore breeze! We
found a great spot a 100m from the end of the prom to enjoy our picnic as
the little waves splashed against the wooden groyne with sea gulls overhead
with a few yachts out enjoying the wonderful weather! We then had loads of
fun with water in our picnic containers and coffee cups, Maeva just loves
playing with water even through she is not so keen on bath time! It was
really quiet too on this part of the beach, we had been there for ages
before returning home, up through the Spa Garden with Maeva dozing off! She
woke as soon as we got home for a drink and cake, plus the usual books and
puzzles with Granny before Mag took her home at 5, what a top day with a
bonus visit from Maeva and a pic on the telly.
The sea breeze did arrive around 4 making it OK for a windsurf foil but the
tide was high and I was knackered so decided to give it a miss especially
as I was knackered from walking 3 miles!
