Paradise .....

7th September 2016 (Wednesday).... 13.30     Most of you will know that I am surrounded by gorgeous scenery where I live;   today has seen the auld place at
Earlsferry
‘her’ best.   I have been out with the camera since 08.30, and honestly, today has been stunning, almost overwhelmingly beautiful in fact.    I don’t even need to dream.... I’m living slap bang in the middle of a dream, as is everyone else who is out there enjoying a real taste of paradise.      I have taken loads of photographs.... I don’t know what I’m going to do with them but having them to look at on a dreich day will be good!     In will have a late night tonight sorting out all today’s photographs!

‘M’ is on the last leg of her flight to New Zealand;   they took orf from Hong Kong at 12.35 (BST) ... 19.35 Hong Kong time, and should arrive in Auckland  about 09.00 (NZ time) tomorrow, (8th September).    ‘M’ then has one flight ... from Auckland to Wellington,....  where she will be met by, and in the arms of ,her ‘troops’.    She will be happy.
22.30     What a magnificent day this has been for anyone with a camera .... a flat calm sea, nice amount of cloud, and sunshine, to change the lighting!.... yes a ‘perfect’ day, and I’ve had a great time.   I don’t know how many photos I’ve taken but it will be in
KIncraig cliffs Earlsferry
the hundreds.    A day like this is just too good to miss.    I’m going to sort them, the photos, out, and have a few printed professionally, approx A3 size, on canvas, to hang around Ivy.

‘M’s airliner  is scheduled to touch down at Auckland (NZ) at 21.46 (BST).... that’s  27 hours and 43 minutes after taking off from Edinburgh.... 23 hours and 11 minutes actually in the ‘air’.... and 4 hours and 32 minutes in airport ‘transit’, between Edinburgh and Auckland.    ‘M’ will have the 45 minute ‘hop’ down to Wellington at midday (NZ time) to add on, but I don’t think she will be worrying too much about that bit .... unless it’s windy at Wellington.... but wind isn’t forecast.    Unfortunately ‘tracking isn’t enabled on this plane so I can’t watch it on ‘Flight Radar’.

Tomorrow I have a dental appointment in Anstruther first thing.... I’ll go along early
Breakwater, Elie 
and have a daunder around the harbour area before the appointment;   and most likely a coffee in the Fisheries Museum after it.

Photographs : Top – Earlsferry, Middle – walking the dogs, and Bottom – Kincraig Cliffs Earlsferry;   all taken at today.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...
