Bright and breezy ....

18th June 2022 (Saturday)      06.30 ....We have a ‘bright and breezy start’ to


the day;  and the weather is much the same... though cool.    This is going to be a ‘lazy day’:  I’ll finish the table, potter around the garden and Hutte, and generally relax.   Oh this is good news;   a jar of “Queen Catherine’s” Somerset honey arrived by post, and Irene brought round some pieces of a goodie that she made.  I start my morning with a teaspoonful of Somerset honey from Emily and John’s hives and a piece of Irene’s delicacy. The goodie (I think) is called “15’s”.... ‘cos there’s fifteen ingredients in the mixtures.   Mwahh xx.... what a lovely way to start a day: In fact I’m thinking of getting the bike out after breakfast... and once the air warms up a bit.


09.45    Hmmmm .... it’s windier (F5-6 on the water), and therefore cooler, than I thought it was going to be so the bike will, like me, be staying around Ivy;  if the wind moderates later in the afternoon I may go out.   In the meantime I think another teaspoonful of Somerset honey is called foe.... followed by a cuppa.   I have wee bits to do to the table so I’ll do that before washing the floors.    It’s a good drying day....albeit a cool one.

21.00    It was a good drying day right enough.... we had some frisky gusts o’ wind.   Anyway the washing dried, the floors dried;  and the table is finished.   I just have to tidy up the corner and sort out a couple o’ chairs.

Shona dropped in just after lunch (she had been at the shops in Elie), so we had a cuppa and blether in The Hutte.   Shona is suffering from hay fever just now;  the pollen levels are high at this time of year.    The forecast for pollen is ‘Medium’ tomorrow.... and ‘High’ on Monday.   Quiet time ahead for the ‘boy’ I’m thinkin’.  

I had hope that the wind would drop away to practically nothing, but that does not look

Garden table.

like ‘appening;  so nae bike this evening.    It has been a breezy (and cool) day;  most of which I spent in the garden and the Hutte.  

I saw on the weather forecast that ‘Sunny Sussex’ is going to be cooler tomorrow;  something like 15 degrees cooler.   That’s a big change.   Luckily we don’t have to cope with that sort of change in Bonnie Scotland!

Quiet morning ....

7th May 2025 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is today's weather forecast for.... KY9, Ellon, Uckfield (Sussex) and London:  it's going to be a bonnie day all over the UK.  The breeze is from the Easterly direction so the East coast will be cooler; but it will be warm sheltered from the breeze.   It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning at Elie and Earlsferry:  the sky is a mix of fluffy clouds and blue bits, and the temperature is 11.6C just now.   3.3C was the minimum overnight.  20.30     I'd been reading about the cyber attack on M & S, Harrods and the Co-op... so, feeling inquisitive, for my morning 'mission' I decided to go to The Store (Ainster) and see how the 'attack' was affecting our local 'Store'.   The first thing I noticed was the car park wasn't as busy as normal and all the Disabled spaces were empty.  Inside the store,  the empty vegetable and fruit...

3rd October 2025 (Friday)     10.30 .... It's a quiet morning; after a lot of overnight rain this is the calm before the storm.... 'Storm Amy', that is going to bring strong winds and heavy rain, this afternoon and Saturday.  It could be a good drying morning!   Anyway all is still at the moment.   I'm going to see if I can rescue a few of the apples that are still attached to the tree.    Actually I think I'll have morning coffee first. 04 12.30    We had a power cut  (45 minutes) last night ,so I unplugged the computer.    We got the torches and candles out, chatted for a while then went to bed.

Windy and wet .....

4th August 2025 (Monday)    08.45 ....  It's breezy with light rain just now;  but the rain is going to move away and the wind freshen to 'gale', with sunny intervals and squally showers, by midday.   There could interesting clouds, and stormy seas.    I won't be going out on the bike!    High tide is at 11.20;  there will be an abundance of fresh air on the beach today.  11.00  The wind is freshening, from the SW, as can be seen in the photo of the 'Glenfuir' flags (Swiss, USA and Jersey).    Sunny intervals are starting to come over, so it's a bonnie enough day now, albeit breezy:  F5 - 6 with stronger gusts now and again. 19.30  It has certainly been a wild old day, but the wind is moderating, and tomorrow will be much quieter.   It was F8 - 9 at times out on the bay.   Which is why HMS Iron Duke (Type 23 frigate) is sheltering off Elie and Earlsferry.      HMS Iro...
