A Rainy Walk

So here we are in lockdown again, but we can still go for local walks. Today was a chance to try out my new waterproof trousers that I got for Christmas. Yes it was raining. Dawn and William came too.

This was our route.

Here are a few photos using my phone, which stayed nice and dry in my waterproof trousers pocket.

We headed up to Suffolk Park and walked around the new warehouses. The site is pretty soggy.

We wondered why this concrete pillar was here beside the path. It's not one of those alien megaliths as it has the the initials of Suffolk County Council on it.

This warehouse is in action. I wonder if it has any part to play in distributing the COVID-19 vaccine?

Here's something else that will be built on the site.

We went through the underpass under the A14....



...and then along the new path by the A14.

At the end we crossed the road and followed the River Lark

Near the rugby club we found several muntjac deer in this field....

...and then what Dawn claimed were a flock of egrets, but it was a bit hard to see.

We returned home via Shakers Lane as darkness fell. About 4.7 miles and the rain was still falling persistently if not heavily. And yes the new waterproof trousers worked perfectly 😀
