Lovely frosty morning .....

30th January 2018 (Tuesday) ..... 09.30   We have a ‘bright and sunny’ Sussex this morning, after an early morning frost;   a lovely start to the day.    Already
'JB' at Pevensey Castle.
the heavy rime is lifting with the warmth of the sun.    There are little balls of cotton wool clouds beginning to bumble over from the Northwest....a bonnie Spring like morning.

In a wee while I shall go downtown to have a cuppa, and say cheerio to Lee-Ann and the ‘Troops’ at ‘The Centre’:   tomorrow at this time ‘JB’ and I will be at Kings X, waiting for the 10.00 Aberdeen train.   It, the aforementioned train, is scheduled to arrive in Kirkcaldy at 15.04.
22.00     John and I went to Pevensey and Beachy Head this afternoon;  it’s the first time we’ve been able to get to Beachy Head on a decent day.    The first time we went we drove into low cloud.... and nigh on zero visibility.   Today I was able to get a good batch of both Pevensey Castle and Beachy Head photos.    This has made me very happy;    because you can’t visit Sussex without visiting those two places.... and I’m travelling home tomorrow.

Beachy Head lighthouse.
The Centre Cafe was busy this morning when I went to say “Cheerio” to everyone.    A big “Thank You” to Barrie:  when I went to pay my bill I found that Barrie had beat me too it, having paid for my morning break/light lunch.
It will have to be an early night in bed tonight as ‘JB’ and I have an early start in the morning:  a train to catch at 07.30 from Uckfield.    This will be my last update from ‘Sunny Sussex’ this visit.    I have enjoyed my holiday, in spite of some inclement weather;   having a cold.... oh ... and Uckfield High Street. 

I will end by thanking Janice and Michael for putting up with me for six weeks, and
'JB' at Beachy Head.
‘JB’ for taking me all over the place on his day’s orf.    I’d say that Winchelsea was the big surprise Sussex had for me this visit;   I love that place.    Oh .... and my latest girlfriend is Twiss, the lassie in the Post Office who sorted out the parcels.

I’m now orf to bed for a good night’s sleep.

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 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

Cold and overcast ....

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
