Tuesday 23rd June - walks **** – Landguard Nature Reserve and Felixstowe
prom with Maeva – sunny and very hot!
Walk 1 – Landguard Nature Reserve.
Friday being Maeva day and it was going to be very hot again, in fact
records were broken with temperatures in Suffolk exceeding 37 degrees Mag
and I decided to get up early and drive down to Landguard for a walk with
our flask! Parking at 6.30 we set off for a circuit around the Nature
Reserve and it was very hot already, we quickly spotted linnets and rabbits
before reaching the small pier on the Orwell. We made it to the spot on the
old pier on the Orwell river mouth where we had a cuppa with a chocolate
bar, very relaxing :) We then walked back along the best beach in
Felixstowe with a few more people out and about, I took some nice pics and
got one chosen as a BBC Editors pick but sadly it did not make it onto the
telly :( Then home to sort out my pics, breakfast in the back garden before
Mag headed over to pic up Maeva.
Walk 2 – down to Felixstowe seafront for chips on the pier with Maeva, so
hot :(
Maeva arrived at 11 looking lovely with her funky headband on, being so hot
we started off with some painting followed by some water fun in the garden,
Mag had frozen loads of small toys in a block of ice which Maeva loved
helping to melt! We then walked down to a very busy but extremely hot
Felixstowe seafront and had chips in the shaded area on the pier which was
very pleasant, a pic I took here was once again chosen as a Editors Pick
but this one made it onto Look East, its been a good month for telly pics!
It was lovely sitting on the slightly cooler pier eating chips watching the
gulls fly past against the bluest of skys but it was time to leave and the
walk along the prom to the pram walk was not pleasant way too crowded and
hot for us. We headed up into town to buy some shorts for me and shoes for
Mag in Peacocks which seemed to excite Maeva we treated her to a nice cat
night set. Maeva then wanted the loo so I left Mag to pay and headed to the
quiet library. We had fun there reading and doing colouring before heading
for home for a cuppa and biscuit before more water fun in the shady back
garden before taking her home around 5, no Peppa Pig today, so another top
Maeva Friday despite the heat!
