Sheffield Park (Sussex) in autumn ....
3rd
November 2016 (Thursday)
..... 10.00 Hmmmm .... it’s wet, and
cold, this morning... a typical ‘dreich’ November morning: it may clear away, but it
disnae look
promising at present. I’ve been along
for the ‘paper’, and down to the harbour, and, having ‘sampled’ the weather; I’d
say it’s a grand morning for baking scones.
I’ll start by having a much needed cuppa.

21.30 With the weather continuing to be miserable
for most of the day (we did have one ‘bright spell that lasted nearly an hour
around midday) I enjoyed the scone
baking session, which went perfectly.... though I had to go up to Elie Deli to get some
Caster Sugar before I got going. Most of the scones are in the freezer.... away
from temptation. “Puku” is very good
at ‘yielding to temptation’ ... especially if the ‘temptation’ is Victoria
Scones.
The
weather ‘bright spell’, that I mentioned above, had passed long before ‘brighter
spell’ cast by the ‘Drop in Cafe’ team .... it was really enjoyable sitting
chatting to folk, on what was by now a miserable, wet, afternoon ...
outside! Normally after the ‘Drop in Cafe’ I would go
down to the harbour, but decided against doing that today; as an alternative, I went home and fired up
the big computer to ‘play’ with some photographs from ‘yesteryear’. Jimmy went down to the harbour, but didn’t
stay
long; unsurprisingly, there was
nothing happening.

The
weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘good to excellent’... then morphing into ‘cloudy
with showers’ later in the afternoon.
Exercise time will be in the morning!
A ‘cold snap’ is forecast for the
weekend, continuing into next week, with ‘snow’ being mentioned, .... and not
just for the high tops of our mountains.
Our
local church has “The Way Ahead” exhibition on in the Church Hall tomorrow 4th
Nov, Saturday 5th, and Sunday 6th. Friday
‘opening times’ are ..... 10.00 – 16.00 and 18.00 – 20.00. On Saturday the Hall will be ‘open’ 10.00 –
16.00, and on Sunday from 11.00 – 13.00.
The exhibition then moves to Kilconquhar on Tuesday (8th)and Wednesday (9th)
... 10.00 – 16.00 both days; then on to Colinsburgh
Hall on Saturday (12th) and Sunday
(13th). Everyone in the community is invited....
with the chance to put your views as to how the ‘Church’ can become more ‘present
day’; and turned into a more significant, and useful, component of .... the whole community.
