Wednesday 10th June - walk *** – West Mersea – some sunshine and
squally showers!
Another poor forecast today with squally showers moving through meaning the
wind would be all over the place so no windsurfing today so it was time to
drive over to Colchester to pick up a boom I bought weeks ago! I actually
managed my exercises in a sunny, warm back garden, then Mag and I enjoyed a
quiet breakfast surrounded by many flowers in bloom before I packed a
picnic! As soon as we left Felixstowe the first heavy shower arrived as we
headed for Colchester, we picked up the boom with no problems, Mags mobile
took us straight there:) I then decided to head to Mersea Island as we
haven’t been there for several years, first stop was the car park near
the windsurf club where you get an hour free, all day is over £9! At this
point the sun has returned with some top clouds but we are surrounded by
menacing black clouds so we take the brolly on a walk along the beach
towards East Mersea past the long row of colourful beach huts that always
make a good photo! We returned to the van spotting loads of tiny crab as
the tide dropped! We then moved onto the car park in front of the sailing
club where all the boats are moored for another free hour and had our yummy
picnic in the van as a spell of heavy rain arrived! It was then the 40 mile
trip back to Felixstowe, stopping off at Lidl for a couple of things and
spotting another electric hire bike which seem to be littered everywhere in
Colchester! Then after tea another shower in Felixstowe produced a rainbow
right over our house:)
PS - headed down to Felixstowe Ferry to see a lovely sunset:)
