'Trinity' Church Guild Coffee Morning .....

18th November 2017 (Saturday) .... 09.00    There was hardly any wind when I was on the beach this morning, so, although the temperature was near freezing,

it doesn’t feel as cold as it did yesterday;  having said that the wind is forecast to get ‘up’ with the rising tide.

Ian is coming down from Auchnagatt this morning, so it will be all action this weekend.    He’s only here until Jimmy’s funeral (Monday).    Hopefully the weather will stay fine... if cauld;  the forecast for the next couple of days is good.     Must ‘go’ slight ‘flap on’ ... got a Coffee Morning (laden with goodies) to ‘grace with my presence’.
20.30     Iain arrived at lunch time, and, having bought sandwiches (salmon) on the way down from Auchnagatt, we had those for lunch....followed by ‘goodies bought at the Coffee Morning.    A tasty lunch actually.    The Coffee Morning was excellent, but seemed quieter than usual;   that said, it was very enjoyable, with plenty of tea/coffee

and scones, and chat.

Re the time of Jimmy’s funeral service at Kilconquhar Church.   The Death Notice in Thursday’s Dundee Courier, had the time as 1.p.m.... this was wrong.   The mistake has been corrected in today’s Courier, ....  the actual time of the service being 1.30 p.m. on Monday, 20th November. 

This has been a lovely day, but cold, especially exposed to the brisk wind.    Iain and I went for a walk up to Chapel Green in the afternoon;   it was very cold walking up Sea Tangle road, where we had the wind in our faces, but, more enjoyable as soon as we turned side on to the wind.... even better when the wind

was on our backs.   We had a good bumble around Chapel Green with the cameras;  finding sheltered places from which to ‘shoot’.

Tomorrow the ‘plan’ is to go to Leven to take Iain’s car through the car wash;  followed by a cuppa in Sainsbury’s.    The weather forecast for tomorrow is pretty much the same as today’s:  the forecast for Monday is not good.    The wind is to be Easterly for a time with 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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
