Started the day in our B&B in Halesworth. 5 star accommodation and cooked breakfast.
Left 09:30 and admired a deli in Halesworth after 5 minutes but too soon to stop sadly đĽ˛, but that didnât stop us stopping for coffee at Emmettâs deli in Peasenhall after an hour. Weâve bought gifts and food online from Emmettâs for several years but this is the first time weâve visited. Too many tempting foodstuffs to buy but we bought a tiny gift for a friend we are meeting in London.
Perfect cycling weather and we cycled for miles on quiet country lanes along the National Cycle Network number 1 route. We could cycle two abreast for much of this. We passed through many quiet villages. Some well-heeled properties along the way: âThe Old Barn/ Granary/ Byre/ Rectory/ Manor/ Farm etc, immaculately renovated with his and hers RangeRover/Defender parked on the weed-free gravel drive đđ.
Lunch outside the Woodbridge Town Hall. Anna popped into âWoodbridge Violinsâ to buy some cello strings. Sheâs bought from them before but never visited. Then a quick look at the Tide Mill.
After Woodbridge there was a slow tedious trip through the suburbs of Ipswich. It seemed like we had been passing road signs saying âIpswich 2 milesâ for well over two miles đ. However it was a good well signposted cycle route. Staying tonight in a chain Penta Hotel and eating out in the Marina quarter.
