Chapel Green explore .....

22nd May 2017 (Monday) .... 09.00    When I was out on the bike this
Chapel ruin from Chapel Ness.
morning it was pleasantly warm in the early sun .... it should be a really nice day later;   but there are heavy clouds towards the West...and  they could bring showers.    I went for a wander down among the rocks at Chapel Ness and found a braw place to have my morning coffee;   the ‘seating’  (a rock) is harder that I’d like, but the views are superb.    Must ‘go’ ... got things to do today;....  I’ll have another cuppa first!
20.00     We’ve had a nice day.... but we did have a short spell of rain;   a long shower I suppose would be another way to describe it.    Before lunch I had walk down to the seat in front of St Margaret’s, and was ... I suppose ‘falling apart’ would be about right.... browsing the beach activity.    I noticed the rain moving in over Largo Bay, and managed to get back home just as it started.     I had a cuppa, because by that time I had a ‘thundery’ headache.    I checked the Lightning Strike  site and discovered that t
Earlsferry from Chapel green.
here has been thunder storms on the Lammermuirs on the ‘Sooth Side’ of the Firth.... hence the headache.

After lunch Jimmy phoned to say that ‘The Galley’ (Lorraine’s Place) was ‘open’ so I biked down to find the Club room a hive of activity.    A school from Edinburgh is making use of the Elie Water Sports facilities for most of this week, and using the ‘club’ showers, ‘The Galley for and food.    It’s the busiest I’ve ever seen ‘the club’.    The harbour area was busy with holiday makers today... over and above the school pupils.    When I think of it, I’m sure that the weekend coming up is a Bank Holiday.   I’d better stock up with food etc.

My intention was to go out on the bike again this evening but there are heavy clouds
Earlsferry beach.
all around, and the thundery headache is still with me, so the bike has been put ‘to bed’;   I might walk down to the beach before I go to my bed.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘bright sunny and warmer’... though we might have showers later in the afternoon.    I’ll go up to Chapel Green again in the morning, to continue with exploring the rocks.    I’ve done this umpteen times but not carrying a camera.

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...
