Hi Spiders All, We have really enjoyed some stormy weather! My husband and I live just about 25 miles from Felixstowe, the largest container port in the UK, so decided to trundle off to watch the sea and waves at a viewing point we regularly go to. The sea was as angry as we've seen it for some time, but there were no boats entering or leaving the port, so the container ships must have been 'stacked up' somewhere outside Felixstowe.
But - when we came to go home, it took us three hours and ten minutes to come the 25 miles home! The Orwell Bridge, which sort of bypasses Ipswich on the A14, was closed to traffic, so Ipswich more-or-less came to a standstill as everything which would normally use the road over the bridge had to divert through the centre of Ipswich. A slow and grim end to a most enjoyable day out! We're supposed to go to my parents in Norfolk on Monday, so we are hoping that the weather improves slightly, although the happy little people on the TV weather forecasts are forecasting snow in the east of England .....
