Pittenweem Memorial .... ..,..


29th September 2019 (Sunday)     07.00 .... the sky is overcast and
Fisher-folk Memorial at Pittenweem.
there’s a frisky breeze from the East, so I haven’t been to the beach yet;  I’m enjoying a nice cuppa at the moment..... "sunny spells and light rain showers" are forecast ... once the sun gets going.   Just now it’s still below the horizon behind the bank of cloud.


17.30     I have had another ‘rest day’, though I did go to Pittenweem in the morning, on a scouting mission, to see the Memorial to Fishermen lost at sea.   It is an absolutely beautiful tribute to the brave men, and now women, of the fishing industry;  and brings home the real price of the fish on your plate.   

I met Robert Melville and his wife out walking with their dogs:  Robert got photos on the day of the unveiling from a fantastic viewpoint;  to see his photographs visit the ‘East Neuks Beauty in Photos’ page on Facebook.

20.00    Hey it’s cauld tonight;  I mean outside, not in Ivy where I’ve had to turn the heating up to 20!   I’ve just seen the forecast on the tele and it’s going to be caulder this week;  not really surprising because it is autumn after all.   It’s the heavy duty warm jacket and scarf wearing time of year.    ‘M’ is going back to Otaki (NZ) just in time;  I am already missing her and she is still in St Monans.

I have done a wheen o’ work on the computer today, most of updating the Hutte pages.   Then I was planning my next visit to the Pittenweem Fishing Memorial;  I need everything to be just right.   Luckily Pittenweem is not far from the ‘Royal Burgh’ .... 4 miles or so ... so you will probably get a few more photos of the Memorial.

What’s my plan for tomorrow.   Well I don’t have one.  The weather is forecast to be cold and cloudy with the chance of light showers later.   That means I won’t need to get out of bed early.... but I will.   I can’t help myself, it’s just when I get ‘up’.   If it is dull and damp I’ll make a cuppa and go back to bed for an hour.... and ‘plan’ things.

‘Planning things’ is dreaming with your eyes open and wide awake.    Whether I go out on the bike depends on the weather.

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
