Friday 28th August - walks **** – Felixstowe – sunny periods.
Walk 1 – Sunrise along Felixstowe prom.
Mag had set the alarm for 4.45 so I could see the lunar eclipse which was
at its best at 5.15 but I woke even earlier just after 4 and looked out of
the bathroom window and half the moon was covered so I got up and got a
couple of pics to send to the TV weather. The bad news, my computer is
taking an hour to start up and the sd card reader does not work so it took
me ages to send the photos! As it was approaching sunrise I headed out
again but only got to the end of our road when I saw the moon in full
eclipse mood just disappearing behind some houses so some more pics and
then returned home to send them in! Then I headed out again meeting up with
Mag on the prom around 5.45 and joined her walk down towards The Fludyers
which was really pleasant and was treated to some nice sun, although my
pics failed to make the weather forecast our local newspaper used a couple
online!
Walk 2 – Holywells Park in Ipswich with Maeva.
I managed my exercises in the back garden and pack a picnic lunch while
Mag went round to pick up Maeva who was full of fun as usual. Straight
upstairs to sort out today’s toys before baking yet more biscuits :) I
was at a loss for today’s picnic venue but on leaving Felixstowe I
decided to drive to Ipswich for a walk around the lovely Holywells Park
arriving at one! Her ladyship was happy enough to be pushed in her buggy as
we did a circuit of the park, it had for the most part clouded over and was
breezy but that did not spoil things! A quick toilet stop at the stables
and Maeva did not return to the buggy, after passing the old conservatory
we walked down the long steps and headed to the kid’s playground where we
feed the ducks before finding a shady spot on the grass to enjoy our picnic
lunch! Then Maeva had loads of fun on the adventure park, she even went in
the water area before walking all the way back to the van by which time
everyone was knackered! We took the scenic route back and spot 20 deer in a
stubble field and stopped for ages to watch them, Maeva loved looking at
them with our binoculars even if she was using them the wrong way round!
Maeva then fell sound asleep on the way back to ours and was out cold until
her Dad picked her up at 6.30, another brilliant Maeva Friday!
