Suffolk Walks---Covehithe

Haven't been to Covehithe for ages. This is yet another beautiful place on the Suffolk coast. Not far from Southwold, Marilyn told us she used to walk along the beach with her picnic when she was a young girl. Lovely place to walk and relax. Last time we visited there, I didn't have my wellies, so didn't want to go for walk, we just pottered in the ruined church. I remember we came here one summer, people were having a picnic. It was lovely and warm sunny summer day. Today, it was grey and cloudy, still, beautiful and picturesque.

26/Dec

Cor, blimey, by the time we got there, there were loads of cars parked up along the roads, one to Southwoud, one to Wrentham. Apperantly, it becomes more and more popular with walkers. It wasn't as popular as now, lots of people favoured Southwold for their little walks.

To Southwold

It was, due to rain and windy days we had, sand dunes were almost flattened, land was falling, trees were falling down to the beach which opened up the earth, interesting patterns appeared. It always fascinates me that bottom of the layer was from millions of years ago, then, as time passed by, more and more strata was formed. 

Luckily, after 30mins or so walking on the footpath ( it starts from just before the church on the right hand side. This footpath wasn't there before, it must've opened up recently. I think they closed the old footpath because it wasn't safe anymore. ) , the sun came out. Yipppppie!

 

We walked towards Southwold, watching, observing the sea and the land. It was beautiful. We stood on squeezy bit, more we thump, more we got sunk into the sand.  W(`0`)W  It was fun. 

We picked up lovely stones for souvenirs for ourselves. We wanted to find some precious stones and ambers, but didn't find any... According to Marilyn, apparently, it need to be the right temp, time and tied for amber. 

How to find amber: After stormy day seem to be the best, so, when we went there, weather was pretty good for it. They usually stay in the bottom of the sea, storms and leaves collect them to the beach. So, that means, they might well be between leaves and sea grasses...They look still orange, yellow and golden colour. Stormy weather quite often brings them in winter, so probably the best to go and find them. I'm sure, we can find them in Suffolk coast. Now, I would love to do amber hunting next!

Before we knew it, the sun started going down already. We decided to head back for our late lunch/ tea. Always finding more and more to explore in Suffolk, even places we have visited many times. Always see different things in nature and never get me bord! (*^o^*)
