Clap for Carers ....


21st May 2020 (Thursday)     10.00....I’ve been round the villages and
Peaceful morning.... even the turbines are content.
bought my paper (and Private Eye), so now I am ready for morning coffee....  and a browse of the papers.   The bike battery is on charge and, if the weather is fine in the afternoon I might go for another bumble around. 
 We’ve had a bonnie morning but I could see heavy showers clouds towards the West of Fife and Edinburgh so I guess there’s a chance we could catch the edge of one.   I think the showers are forecast to peter out by the afternoon.  Orf to make a mug of coffee.

The ‘Clap for Carers’ has been well supported in ‘The Royal Burgh’ every

Thursday evening.... it has been really good to see Earlsferry ‘come alive’ as it does for this weekly event.    Thanks  are due to our  two young pipers, Felix and Hamish, who piped their way half way up the High Street and back again;  it was a really moving tribute to Carers all over the UK.... and Planet Earth... who have done so much to help those in need;  and continue to do so.   ‘Thank You’ Felix and Hamish you were excellent.... a well supported by  the 'clappers'.
