March 2017 (Monday) ..... 21.00 Oh my word.... I apologize for being late
with the Hutte update today; but I went
out to prune the Clematis first thing

after breakfast and that was it .... I
was ‘sidetracked’. I managed to
untangle the Clematis tendrils from the trellis but, oh dear, that was not an
easy job.
Jimmy
arrived for his morning cuppa so the garden work was put ‘on hold’; we would do the Chapel Green walk after we’d
finished our tea, then go along to St Monans to watch the dredger in St Monans
harbour. The Chapel Green walk was interesting; we sat and watched the Mara Seaweed gatherer’s
gathering seaweed from the rocks: it’s
relaxing watching other people working.... and we anticipated more of the same, relaxing
thing, along at St Monans. Not so ... the tide was out and the only activity on
the dredger was taking place in the galley from whence came the aroma of bacon
and eggs. This made us hungry so we

went back to Ivy and had another cup o’ tea.
Having
dumped the morning’s clematis pruning’s into the ‘broon bucket’ I decided,
after lunch, that I’d be better to put
them in a sheet, and take them along to the skip at Pittenweem... along with
some other rubbish. On reaching Pittenweem
I found the road to the ‘Recycling Depot was ‘closed’; thinking that I might get to the ‘dump’ from
the other end of the road, I went to ‘Ainster’, then took the ‘Cheese Place’
road only to find that the road was ‘closed’ from that end too. The Clematis is back in the ‘broon bucket’
again, and there it will stay until the ‘BB’ is emptied on the 24th.
Most
of the afternoon was spent in the garden;
I didn’t go down to the beach today...

but I did see it from Chapel
Green. We’ve had a nice day here,
though the wind was on the cool side.
That said, it was a braw ‘drying’ wind .... and I took advantage of it. Tomorrow’s weather forecast is for the COTU (Centre of the Universe) to be sunny and mild, but also windier tomorrow ... so it might be mild but the
wind will be a factor when it comes to how actually warm it is.
