Sunny ....

12th April 2025 (Saturday)    10.00 .... It's a lovey sunny, with a gentle ENE breeze, with a light

mist and a chilly feel to the early morning air.   The 'plan' is to go up to Chapel Green at 10.30, by that time the air will be warmer.   In the meantime Iain is sorting out 'The Hutte', getting rid of the stuff that I put in there when the workmen were busy in the garden.

22.00   My word ... this has bee a lovely sunny, and warm, day and the villages have been busy with people enjoying the warm sunshine.   And, although the breeze was Easterly it was so light that it was hardly noticed.    Iain and I biked up to Chapel Green, Iain on my old bike ()nae battery) and me on 'sooper bike'.   Iain went of round the Dome Park looking for insects, I sat on Maggie's Seat and got sunburnt!   Elaine came round Chapel Green, walking her daughter's dog (top Photo) and we chatted for a while.   Chapel Green was busy, as was the beach.    A wee while later Keith and Jo came by walking their dogs, so the four of us (Iain had joined me on Maggie's Seat) so we had a four way conversation.    

Earlier (at Ivy) we Iain and I, had seen a Green Veined White which was followed, not long after, by an Orange Tip;  obviously butterflies were enjoying the warm sun too!

Iain spent the morning tidying up the shed so that we could put the 'stuff' back that I'd taken out, to put in 'The Hutte', when the workmen were moving the shed.   This was all to do with finding the 'safe place' where the collie dog, solar powered garden lamp was ... well... 'safely stashed'.   I thought it would be in 'The Hutte', but we haven't found it, yet.   As I said .... my 'safe places' are very safe.

Heather, Ray and Alistair came down in the evening:  Alistair made the coffee and we had a  great time talking about... well things local ... and even 'international'!   A brilliant evening.   

Tomorrow Iain and I will continue with the tidying up and searching;  and I should end up with The Hutte being habitable again.    And with both chair clear for sitting on!   The weather changed in the evening, and tomorrow is to be windier (W) with sunny intervals.   The stronger wind means it will feel

cooler.   We were just starting to get used to the idea of a longer spell bonnie weather, when it changes.  Right enough April is the month for ... would you believe it;  'April showers!

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and f...

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...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
