Surrounded by gorgeousness ....
21st
May 2017 (Sunday) ....
10.00 Oh my word .... the “Auld
Place’s” (Elie and The Royal Burgh of Earlsferry) are looking gorgeous this
morning; it’s
overcast, with sunny spells, but .... och,
you have to come and see for yourself, it is just so peaceful and
relaxing. I’ve been out on the bike...
only as far as the harbour; I went out
to actually get the paper and milk for my ‘Cornflakes’.... but got diverted. What I like about our wee villages is... not
only are you surrounded by gorgeousness.... ‘you’ are ‘stood staunin’ smack in
the middle of it all.

21.30 I wouldn’t say that I have overworked
today; but I have enjoyed myself not working: in fact I am not long back from biking
through the Estate, looking for some evening time photos of the loch. The ‘boathouse’ Swan was feeding close in so
I got a few close ups of him. There
was a breeze on the loch so not great for ‘reflections’.
I’ve
been ‘resting’ most of today ... though I did do a wee bit of weed relocating: I uprooted and relocated them into the ‘broon’
bucket. I might do more of that
tomorrow; there’s something satisfying
about ‘weeding’. There is the
potential for much satisfaction in my garden!
In my paper this morning and was surprised to
find photographs of the “Moor’s murder’s” in it .... with St Monans in the
background of a couple of the photos.
This suggests that they must have passed through Elie: apparently they had six or seven
holidays
touring round Scotland,..... in between
murders. What an evil pair. The photos he took with St Monans in the
background must have been taken from the coastal path at Newark.... before it
became the ‘Fife Coastal Path’. Maybe
they liked walking.

I
don’t have a ‘plan’ formulated yet for tomorrow; if the weather is good I’ll level off the
rhone and get that working properly in the next few days .... might even try
painting it as the weather forecast is mostly ‘good’ for the next few days.
