Stunning morning ... not as windy .. ....
5th
October 2017 (Thursday)
... 09.00 Stunning morning; the wind has dropped to F3 or so, it’s ‘bright
and sunny’ .... yes, definitely a stunning morning.... especially when you
compare it with the recent, windy, mornings.
We (the Heron and
me) didn’t have the beach all to ourselves; the seaweed gatherers came down from Boat
Wynd; it must be thought going out to the rocks some
mornings; even though they do have all
the protective clothing!

| Sunrise. |
It
was a bonnie sunrise, but lack of broken, scattered clouds meant it wasn’t
spectacular. Having said that... it
was worth being down there, just to experience the ‘magic’ that is an Elie and
Earlsferry sunrise; which is why I do
it!
22.00 Today began with a splendid sunrise, and ended
with a splendid, and peaceful sunset.... and the bit in between was splendid too
....all round, this has been a bonnie day;
in every way.... and I have enjoyed it.

Jimmy
came along in the morning, and we decided to go to Leven for a browse in the
Charity shops; I wanted some bedtime
reading, Jimmy went and had a look in the Mobility shop. When we were finished in the High Street we
went to Sainsbury’s to have a cuppa.
The cafe was busy... it was getting near lunch time ... but we didn’t
see anyone we knew. We got a window
seat, and enjoyed relaxing after a strenuous(?) morning! We were back in Elie and Earlsferry at 12.45
.... just in time to have lunch.
When
I’m having lunch I switch on the tele and watch the news.... well did I not
fall asleep. I remember looking at
the clock at 13.50 and thinking...mmmm... “I have time for 50”. The next thing I heard was the phone ringing
and this was at 14 20 ....and the ‘Drop in Cafe’ opens at 14.15. Not only did the phone waken me, it interrupted
my dream... there was I, was in a room with all my girlfriends; then the
phone rings. Anyway I got into instant, ‘flap on mode’,
and was up at the ‘Cafe’,... having
abandoned my ‘girlfriends’,... by 14.40.

As
is the normal practice after the ‘Cafe’ I went down to the harbour to get a few
late afternoon photos; then I discovered
that there wasn’t a card in the camera, so I had to go back to Ivy, pick up the
card, then poodle back to the harbour.
It was worth the poodling around;
but the photos I got on the beach at sunrise, and sunset time were ‘bonnier’,
so I have used them on the ‘Hutte’.
The
East Neuk is forecast to be ‘bright and sunny’ at first tomorrow, then clouding over and
becoming cold, with spell of rain coming in later in the evening.
