Cherry Blossom time ....
13th
May 2016 (Friday)
.... 11.00 It’s colder this morning, and
less windy, but overcast .... at least it’s still dry. I think it is forecast to ‘brighten up’ in
the afternoon.... so I might get some outside work done.

I’ve
been to Leven to do a ‘shopping’; I
like to get that done early so that the remainder of the day is ‘free’. On the way home I went into Letham Glen to
photograph the, spectacular, Cherry Blossom:
by next weekend the ground will
be a cherry blossom carpet.... the blossom, unhappily, is short lived. I’m orf to have a cuppa before loading the
car boot up with ‘rubbish’ for re-cycling.
21.30 It has been colder today, but still a nice
enough day for getting things done.
The only part of ‘the plan’ that I didn’t get done was the
re-cycling: I went along to Pittenweem
Re-Cycling Depot, with two bags of weeds/prunings, only to find that the D
epot
was ‘temporarily closed’... due to vehicle breakdowns. The containers were ‘full’ and they didn’t
have vehicles to take the full
containers away. The notice also said
that St Andrews, Cupar, and Methil were the next nearest Depots, but I’d
imagine they would eventually have the same problem. I know I’ve been tidying up the garden ....
but it wisnae that bad! I went to
Jimmy’s for a cuppa. The weeds? They are still in the car boot: I’ll have to watch that they don’t turn into
silage!

The
weather brightened up in the afternoon, as per weather forecast. I got
the bike and went for a ‘run’ to the harbour, then up to Jimmy’s. After a blether Jimmy wanted me to accompany him out to Woodhaven
Car Park ... by way of walking, with
his ‘wheels’, for some exercise. The sun had broken through the clouds by
this time, but it was cold. When we
got back to No 10 we had a quick cuppa, then I went home to Ivy, by way of Elie
estate; stopping to take yet more
photos of Kilconquhar loch, and kirk..

We
have a beautiful, if cold, evening;
this makes me think that we might have a ‘bright and sunny’ tomorrow
morning. It is the Christian Aid
Coffee Morning tomorrow: when we get
the answers to Brenda’s Annual quiz;
also home bakes, books and, of course coffee/tea.
