Lovely morning


5th March 2019 (Tuesday) .... 08.00    The sun is up and shining brightly
Vintage bus for the wedding guests...
.... we have a ‘sunny Sussex’ this morning.    I’m about to bumble down to the shops;  and hopw to be back before ‘JB’ surfaces.   We had thought of going to Ashdown Forest, but the paths will be muddy after yesterday’s heavy showers.... as will be the Buxted Park paths.
I’m ready to travel tomorrow morning;   all I have to do is post my washing!    ‘JB’ is taking me up to KingsX station.

     

Chris, Joyce and Jean at the 'top' Church.
19.00      ‘JB’ and I went to Beachy Head, the Eastbourne this afternoon ;  it was a bonnie day..... but it is raining now.   I think the rain will get me acclimatised for Bonnie Scotland tomorrow;   where it is going to be wet .... and cold with snow on the mountains.

There much activity at the top of the Beachy Head cliffs.... above the car park we normally stop at.... so we moved on to the Belle Tout park.  
I’m ready to travel north arriving at Kirkcaldy at 15.15;  Geoff is meeting me there.    With Jim being unwell, Myra is going to be otherwise engaged.    ‘JB’ and I have an early start tomorrow..... we want to catch the 07.03 train from Uckfield.    That gets us
'JB' with Belle Tout beyond.
into London in time to have a cuppa at Kings X Station.

The next update will be from ‘Ivy’ tomorrow .... most likely late in the evening.    The laptop is going into the case immediately after this update....  I’ll then go downstairs to have a cuppa and a blether.

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

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
