Ferry Hall Coffee Morning .....

4th November 2017 (Saturday) .... 07.30    Hmmmmm .... we’ve had a shower of rain, so everything is wet;   however it looks like being a bonnie enough
Some of 'the girls'.
day, though we might catch the odd shower later.   I’m looking forward to the Coffee Morning in the Town Hall .... having not been in the hall for a number of years.    Must go ‘slight flap on’ .... the ‘girls’ will be looking for their breakfast!
21.00     That’s another lovely, albeit on the cool side;  jackets, and woollen hats essential..... especially when I was down there in the late afternoon.   But I’m getting ahead of myself .... there was much action before late afternoon!
The Ferry Hall Coffee Morning was a popular event;   the background chatter was deafening at times.... always a good sign at coffee mornings!     Kirsty was there .... this is the fourth day in a row that Kirsty and I have bumped into each other:  we’d be talked about ... if there was enough people in the Ferry to spread the news!    I enjoyed catching up with Dave and Joyce... they live a long way off.... ‘East by’ .... in Elie.   Jimmy and I missed the Kinneuchar Coffee morning .... Steve bumbled his way in to the Ferry Hall and we ended up chatting.

This was my last day feeding, and chatting to, the ‘girls’ up at Balmonth.    I’m sure they will give Sandy and ‘M’ a welcome round of clucking;  and a few eggs, tomorrow morning.    I managed to get a photograph  that shows the difference between a ‘normal’ hen, and a rescued one, of the same breed.    I can’t remember the name of the breed, but they aren’t ‘Rhodies’ (Rhode Island Reds).   Sandy did tell me ... it might be Golden Comet.    They are bonnie, and happy ‘girls’.

Earlsferry Hall Coffee Morning.
Jimmy was running out of supplies so we went to Leven in the afternoon.   Traffic was being diverted at Balchrystie, and we had to travel to Leven via Largoward.... and the diversions were still active when we came back.    There had been a bad accident at Drumeldrie, between a car and a motor bike.

Tomorrow the ‘plan’ is to go to the kirk;   I’m looking forward to having a sleep in tomorrow morning;   as long as I get ‘up’ in time to go to the kirk.   This past week I have made a point of being up at Balmonth at 08.00 (ish)... and midday.  That’s the way it is with livestock;  they depend on us, being there with their food.    I think the biggest surprise for me was seeing them, devour yoghurt and pasta:  modern kitchen scraps when you think about
Evening time on the beach.
it.    At the end of the day I felt like I’d done a day’s work.... and ... I suppose I have to say it ... “I ain’t no chicken!”


Photographs : Top – the girls ... the one on the right is older, and has all her feathers;  the other ‘girls’ will look like her next Spring, Middle – The Ferry Hall this morning, and Bottom – I know this photo is repetitive, but I like to see folk enjoying ‘my’ beach,.... they  bring the beach, and a photograph to life!

Overcast with light rain .....

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...
