Unveiling of Interpretation Boards .....


27th August 2018 (Monday) .... 08.30    There’s a lot of cloud about but also a good mix of blue patches, giving us spells of sunshine;   and, with a brisk

westerly wind, it is cool.    I’ve been for the paper, and milk;  the milk being a vital ingredient with my Weetabix.    I’ll have a cuppa, then organise the camera for a daunder round Chapel Green at the unveiling ceremony.


20.30     Not only has this been a bonnie day, it has also been an exciting one.    It’s not often that I have the chance to photograph events, but the unveiling of the Interpretation Boards by Elizabeth Riches MBE certainly remedied that:  it was perfect:  captive’ models’ all over the place, and plenty of action.... oh... and chat.    The weather was just right, sunny, with a nice wind to get action shots of  Elizabeth doing the unveiling.   After the Chapel Green unveiling we had a very enjoyable buffet lunch in the Pavilion .... great food and great company.    Loved it all.

I missed the Mars’ Boy’s board being unveiled at the Sailing Club;  that was done early.... but I did get some general photographs of the crowd.   This has been one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had in a while:  we need more “unveiling’s”... they are enjoyable;  and I say ‘Thank You’ to the Elie and Earlsferry History Society for inviting me.  

Later in the afternoon, after I’d checked out the photographs I’d taken (131) I ran Myra along to Lundin Links to pick up her car which had been in for a check up.

Finally I have even more thrilling ‘news’;...  congratulations, to John and Emily (my

granddaughter) who have got engaged.    This has been one thrilling, and memorable day.   I’m on a diet!  

I think that ‘The Boy’ will sleep well tonight.    No ‘plan’ for tomorrow, bit if the weather is as it is forecast to be, I might paint a bit of the shed.    We are to have a repeat of today’s weather ... tomorrow;    minus the excitement.

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...
