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
Visiting yacht in Elie Harbour.

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.   
Elie harbour.
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
Kinneuchar Swan ... and Coot.
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.

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...
