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
Letham Glen, Leven
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
Cherry Blossom
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
Letham Glen, Leven
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.

Photographs : Taken in Letham Glen, Leven this morning.

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...

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
