Back in 'The Royal Burrow' ....


6th March 2019 (Wednesday) ....     20.00     I’m back in residence in the
Kings X Station.
‘Royal Burrow’ after what feels like a really long day.    The journey from Kings X to Kirkcaldy was uneventful, arriving in Kirkcaldy bang on time;  with Geoff waiting for me as per plan.     The Underground  from London Bridge was horrid;   so ‘horrid’ I doubt if ‘JB’ and I will ever travel during the rush hour ever again..... not with luggage that’s for sure.

Back at Ivy I decided to have a look around my ‘domain’ and was extremely surprised to find the two boxes;   the ones that ‘JB and I had posted in Eastbourne yesterday afternoon, .... sitting in the Hutte;  they’d taken less than 24 hours to get here.    I’ll get the washing done tomorrow.... weather permitting.

Geoff has updated me on what’s been happening in the village(s) during my absence;   once I get myself back into gear I’ll take few photographs.    \tomorrow I’ll bumble along to Harbour House for ‘morning coffee, then get back to the Thistle to catch up with Brian who should have finished his round of golf, and will run me up to Arncroach to reunite me with ‘Sooper Buggy’.    Having said that .... the weather
'The Ferry' High Street.
forecast for us tomorrow is not ‘iggzactly’ great .... there’s a good chance of rain.    I’m definitely back home in Bonnie Scotland.    Probably means that the washing will have to be done on Friday.

Plan for tomorrow?     Hmmmm .... I need a good sleep first;  my heid is still birlin’ from all the travelling, but morning coffee and getting the car are two must ‘do’s.    There’s also the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.... yep... tomorrow could be a reasonably busy day.    And I need to make an appointment to have a blood test.
The beach was looking as pristine as ever when I went down this afternoon .... but ...
Yes .... the beach at the COTU.
there was a cool easterly breeze;  but not cold enough to stop me enjoying  being there. 
  
Big progress has been made with the renovations, and extension, to Margaret Dunsire’s cottage;   it looks higher than I expected, but the car parking will be the bigger problem.

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...
