Pittenweem Coffee Morning .....

25th October 2017 (Wednesday) .... 13.00    This ‘Boy’ has had a busy morning... which began with sunrise down on the beach.    Well not actually on the
Five minutes before sunrise.
beach... in the lee of the bents, because there was, still is, a brisk wind blowing.... and it was cold.    Sunrise this morning was at 08.06;    sunrise  time will change after the clocks ‘fall back’ on Sunday morning.... and I’ll have to be up, and out by 06.30.     We had a bonnie, if not spectacular, sunrise today, with quite  few folks walking the beach.


Since then I have been up to Balmonth to meet Sandy and M’s hens... then back to Ivy, to pick up a camera, before going along to Pittenweem, to Elizabeth’s Coffee Morning.    Pittenweem Kirk Hall was full, , but I was able to find a seat beside Jimmy McBain, his sister Linda and wife Anne.  I also met, and spoke to, Isobel Paton, now
Elie Lighthouse.
Marr, from Colinsburgh... who I haven’t seen for years.    I couldn’t stay too long as I am waiting on a delivery;  in point of fact,  I’m waiting on the e-mail that will tell me the hour that the parcel is going to be delivered.

    18.00   The DPD e-mail duly arrived, telling me that the parcel would be delivered between 16.16 ... and 17.56.    The delivery was made at exactly 16.58;  I’m impressed.... in fact very impressed.   All I have to do is find out how to set the printer so that I can print the cards (my Christmas cards) off with my own photos etc. 
This afternoon I went for a walk round the East Links .....i.e. Elie lighthouse and the
Lady's Tower.
Lady’s Tower.    There was a brisk wind blowing so I’ve had my share of fresh air today!     It wasn’t  very busy.

Tonight I have an evening service up at Kinneuchar kirk to celebrate the Link between St Monans Auld Kirk and our kirk, East Neuk Trinity.   The service starts at 07.00 so I am in ‘slight flap on’ mode.   There will be coffee/tea after the Service.

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...
