Gorgeous morrrrrrrning ....

 

2nd October 2020 (Friday)     15.30 .... We have an absolutely gorgeous day

Elie Estate road.

here;  which is why I am late with ‘The Hutte’ update.    I started my day by going for the paper, then checking the harbour, and Elie Estate.   While doing that I managed to take 183 photographs (I have since ‘dumped’ seven7);  spoken to a lassie (from Wishaw who was out walking her dog) at the harbour.    She hadn’t walked from Wishaw, she’s here on holiday.    I could easily have doubled the number of photos I took.... it was that kind of morning.    I got back to ‘Ivy’ two and a bit hours after I left get the paper.... hungry and well ready for a cuppa.

By the time I’d sorted out the photos it was nigh on lunch time.    By this time there was  marked decrease in the water pressure and the water was a pale yellow colour.   I went onto the ‘Scottish Water’ website and discovered that Elie and St Monans (and


Earlsferry) are having problems but they are on the job and are going to update us at 15.00.    I’ll just check to see if that has been done!    No .... it hasn’t been updated yet;  they are  at the ‘Investigating' stage.

18.30      The water is still ‘off’;   apparently a third party contractor broke the water main and Scottish Water are having to replace a length of it.   It should all be back to normal tomorrow morning.    I saved a few jugs of water for numerous cuppas.  

I went up to Chapel Green in the afternoon to check that ‘all is well and where it should be’.    It is.    Back at Ivy I had a cuppa, then battened the hatches in readiness for tomorrows weather.    Tomorrow looks like being a "computer, making apple crumble, and pottering around in Ivy" day.

22.00     The ‘plan’ is to get up early and bike along for the paper;  the rain mentioned in

West end of the Ferry High Street.

the weather forecast isn’t suppose to get serious until 09.05.... with the heaviest rain coming in about  midday.   

I’ve had a really enjoyable day ....which included watching Susan Calman exploring some of Fife’s hidden gems on Channel 5.   The one place she visited in the East Neuk was Elie, where she played ‘cricket on the beach’.    I have been watching her programme for the past few weeks....  ‘Secret Scotland’ it’s called.

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...
