Gorgeous morning ....


26th February 2020 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... it’s a gorgeous crisp start

Chapel Green end of the beach.
to the day after a light touch of frost.... and, as far as I can see we have a ‘wall to wall’ blue sky!   It looks like being a really bonnie day albeit a cold-ish one.   I’ll go for a wander after I’ve had a cuppa.... the tide should be half out so loads of beach.   I’ve just had a look at the weather cams and there are a few fluffy shower clouds on the Lochgelly cam;  photograph enhancers I call them though there could be light showers towards the West of Fife.   I have a small washing going through the machine;  it looks like being a good ‘drying day’ ....  it's all ‘go’  in 'Ivy Cottage'.    Slight flap on now .... the beach is calling me.


20.00    I am really tired tonight after a fairly busy day.   I walked to the Chapel Green end of the beach to get some photos of Chapel Green House with the demolition contractors stuff in the garden;   that was in the morning.   On the way home Jenny
Part of 'Links Road' - Earlsferry.
(Gilderdale) caught me up and was telling me that Chapel Green House had been her family home for many years.   It be will hard  on Jenny seeing her old home disappear;  however, even demolition contractors can’t demolish happy memories.

The Colinsburgh ‘Lite Bite’ Lunch was, as it always is, a lovely way to enjoy good food with friends.    It was great  seeing so many people turn up;  Lexie’s end of the table was awfie noisy... probably the noisiest in the hall..   I met Jim (Ednie) outside his ‘office’ on the way back to the car and he said he got the job at St Monans harbour finished this morning.   The tide came in and put a stop to proceedings yesterday.
When I got back to Ivy in the afternoon I went for a wander up to the golf course and
4th green Earlsferry Links.
along Grange Road for a change of scenery.... and to have a look at the new house replacing ‘Grangefield’ on Grange Road Earlsferry.   Living in Earlsferry has been like living on a building site for the past thirty years or more.   I’m just jealous.   Anyway there is much going on around ‘The Ferry’ all the time.

Tomorrow is going to be a rest day for this boy.... that said...I might get the bike out if it isn’t too windy and cold.     The weather forecast is good for tomorrow.... sunny but cold.... with a brisk wind.

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...
