Lovely autumn morning ....
11th
September 2017 (Monday)
.... 09.30 Instead of going to the
beach for my morning walk, I wandered up to the ‘Pony Field’ to have a look at the
villages from a different viewpoint: it’s
usually evening when I go up to the ‘Pony Field’... to catch the, romantic, late
sunlight. The villages looked darker
because the sun was behind a cloud when I got to the old ROC Post. Conclusion: the evening is the time to go up to the Pony
Field.

21.30 Yes the evening is the best time to go up
to the Pony Field; so, what do I do? Go up to Chapel Green. Actually you get bonnie shots of Elie in
the evening sunshine from Chapel Green.
Conclusion: The ‘Royal Burgh’ and
the ‘Royal Consort’ are both, extremely, photogenic, at all times of the day.
I’ve
had a busy sort of day. After our
morning cuppa, Jimmy and I went along to
Leven. I wanted to hand some books into a charity
shop, and Jimmy wanted to buy ‘Lotus’ biscuits ... to go with our coffee/tea. By the time we got back to Elie it was lunch
time. “Puku” (bless his lovely nine
pack) likes his food!

After
lunch (and ‘50’) I decided to go up to Colinsburgh to fuel up the car: I did this twice. The first time, just before I got to
Colinsburgh, I found that I’d left my wallet at home... so, I bumbled past the
petrol station. The second time I did
everything ‘parfectly’. There nothing
more enjoyable than a couple of trips to Colinsburgh,.... in rapid succession. Note to me:
I must remember to pick up my wallet as well as the camera, when I’m
going out!
In
the afternoon I decided to make Macaroni Cheese, for tonight’s dinner, and to
freeze as ‘ready meals’. Jimmy arrived
for an afternoon cuppa; which was handy,
because
I suddenly found out that I didn’t have enough milk for the Macaroni Cheese. When we’d finished blethering I ‘jamp’ in the
car and went to Elie for milk. The Macaroni
Cheese has been made, it tastes braw, and I got four ‘ready meals’ for
freezing.

Tomorrow’s
weather: mostly bright and sunny. It could be a good day for drying a
washing!
