morning to ‘fall
apart’. I’ve been round the villages
on the bike, bought a paper, then went up through Elie Estate to Kinneuchar Loch
.... and everywhere I’ve been has radiated peace, tranquillity and love. My
next move, after breakfast, is to attack another bit of the garden; having said that the ‘broon bucket’ is full
so I’ll need to find bags to put the weeds in.
Orf to have breakfast .... I’ve been on the go since 06.00. and I’m
beginning to feel hungry.
17.00 Oh my word, it was 22c in Ivy garden this
afternoon. I had to have a siesta.... I
cannot work when it’s hot like that. I
settled down, in the Hutte with a bottle of water and the paper. The garden work is progressing; I found the bags that

I use for the weeds,
and one of them (as well as the ‘broon bucket’ is already full. My hips and knees are enjoying the
exercise! The temperature will be more
amenable tomorrow, and for the next few days;
because the wind is veering to
the East.
21.00 All this work made me hungry.... so I had
an early ‘dinner’, then went up to the top of Balcarres again and got a few
photographs of the ‘troops’ working.
It is a lovely evening, and I might go down to the beach later.... after
a cuppa. I had the beach all to
myself, .... in fact both villages seemed to be asleep. Some heavier looking clouds have moved in,
but I don’t think rain is mentioned in the weather forecast. I have yet to have the cuppa.
I
received an advisory letter re a planning application for ‘Little Cottage’,
from Fife

Council, this morning; I live
within 20 metres of the proposed extensions.
Jings when I first lived in Ivy Cottage, Jock Dunsire’s family were in
the process of selling their ‘big house’ Balvonie, and moving into separate
smaller houses (downsizing). Margaret
chose to live in the cottage in the corner of Balvonie garden, ‘Selina Cottage’
(as it was then), Chrissy moved to the flat above Toni’s shop, and David to a
wee cottage, about three blocks west of Margaret. They have all passed away. ‘Little Cottage’? .... I think that might be
the fourth change of name. It was
Selina Cottage, then Moon Acre, then Small Cottage... and, as I type Little
Cottage. I don’t think the extension
will affect me in any way .... I only hope the trees don’t get the ‘chop’.
