28th
October 2019 (Monday) 07.00 .... and it’s a bonnie morning;
 |
| Sunrise over Elie Ness. |
with the
first frost of the season on the car; it looks like being a perfect day for showing Lynn round our
wee villages. Lynn has come all the way
from California (is that no’ a warm kind of place?) and it looks like she will
see our wee corner of the planet at its bonniest. There’s isn’t much of a wind just now; let’s hope it stays that way..... we don’t
want any wind chill. Must ‘go’ ... ever
such a slight ‘flap on’ this morrrrrrrrning.
08.00 The beach was busy with dogs walking their owners this morning; I met, and was talking to a lady from County Durham, who comes here often but this is the first time she's been here in late autumn. She is lovin' it.

| Lynn at Elie Harbour. |
17.00 I’ve just spent a most enjoyable and
interesting day showing Lynn round ‘The Royal Burgh of Earlsferry’ .... and
Elie; and it was a perfect day for doing
it. Lynn, a Californian girl, duly
arrived in Elie off the ‘95’ bus just before 09.00.... and she was bearing gifts....
Fudge Doughnuts courtesy of Barbara (New York), who reminded Lynn of that especial
shop St Andrews; Fisher and Donaldson’s. Before Lynn and I set out on our wee
historical tour we had a ‘FD’ to help keep the cold out! It was cold out in the wind, especially at
the harbour, but as soon as we crossed the boundary into Earlsferry the fudge
doughnut effect cut in and we felt much warmer.... there was one place up at
Chapel Green where we nearly succumbed to heat stroke. Well ... perhaps not quite .... but it was warm
sitting in the sunshine and out of the wind.
“Thank You Barbara” for thinking of us on this ‘cold and frosty morning! Lynn was find Bonnie Scotland cauld
 |
| ..... and at Chapel Green. |
at this
time of year; so was I! Californians do not wake up to cauld morrrrrrrnings. That reminds me I know what I am going to
have for ‘sweet’ this dinner time.
The 19th Hole kitchen was 'closed' today... so we went to the ‘Pav’ for a bowl of soup and a mug of coffee. Angela and Graham came in and I caught up with
all the ‘news’ from Elie House.... there
wasn’t any but we had an interesting chat about ‘historical’ things. ( No .... not Alan). After lunch Lynn and I went back to Ivy had
a cuppa then I ran Lynn ‘home’ to St Andrews after a really pleasant and happy day.
