No need for sun cream .....


16th March 2018 (Friday) .... 07.30    ‘Windy, wet and cold’ was the forecast .... and .... ‘windy, wet and cold, we have.    It is a miserable morning, and this
Elie Bay from Chapel Green.
weather is forecast to last the whole day:   however .... don’t be too hasty throwing the sun cream out  .... we could  have a  few ‘sunny spells’ tomorrow.  

 11.30     There has been much work done at the top Scoonie Brae over the past couple of years... and it still goes on .... the gas main is being replaced now;  with a three way set of traffic lights controlling the traffic.    I hope it’s done and dusted by the Easter weekend!   Oh .... I went to Leven this morning, mostly to get ‘out and about', but I bought a load of bird food in the ‘Cheap Shop’, and posted a letter.     I was lucky with the Scoonie Brae traffic lights, passing through non- stop on the way in, and only having to wait a couple of minutes on the
Elie Bay.
way out.   It’s not a pleasant day for being out .... but it’s coming up to high tide (12.09) just now so I’m going to the beach.

 12.30     I didn't go to the beach;  far too windy, and no shelter from the wind when it's from this direction.    Instead I went up to Chapel Green (in the car) and took some photographs from the lee of the Chapel ruin.   It's not a big tide, but there are some big rollers coming in.    I think that I stay in Ivy for the remainder of 'today'.... it's not a day for outside stuff.


19.30     This has been a fairly productive day after all;   I made myself some ‘ready meals for freezing.    It has been the perfect day for working in the kitchen.... and watching Time Team on the ‘tele’.    I’m glad that I did go to Leven, and up to the Chapel earlier.... that gave me a wee bit exercise.    Since I bought the protective
The biggest terra cota fountain in the world - Glasgow Green.
cycling glasses the weather has been such that I have hardly been able to use them.
Our weather for tomorrow is supposed to be slightly better;   very windy (East), but dry... with, perhaps, a few sunny/brighter spells.    It looks like I might jump in the car and go somewhere different,.... somewhere with trees, to provide a degree of  shelter from the wind.   Once again I’ll be in bed early with a book;   unless I can find something to watch on the tele.

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...
