Fantastical morning ....

1st March 2021 (Monday)    I begin by wishing all my friends from Wales a


“Happy St David’s Day” ....  but be safe. 

10.00    We have one fantastical morning here;   one of those Elie and Earlsferry mornings for wandering about and relaxing;  I also do dreaming on days like this.   When I think about it, I do dreaming most days.    There was a light touch of mist at sunrise time;  I loved the ambience.

It was really quiet on the beach at sunrise time and there was a few folk out enjoying the peaceful vibes.    This is definitely a ‘bike’ morning for me:  I’ll get myself organised after ‘morning coffee’.

16.00    Well .... this ‘boy’ has enjoyed today.    I went out on the bike, but couldn’t go awfie far as the battery (the bike one) wasn’t fully charged;  however I had a braw run up to Kinneuchar Station then through Elie Estate (the estate road is still muddy, but is drying out), stopping at numerous points on the way.   It’s always cool in the shade of the

Sunrise time.

trees within the estate, but I had taken that into consideration and was warmly wrapped up .... including gloves.   It was a perfect day for the camera, and Kinneuchar loch was looking serene;  with a fair number of swans dotted all around;   most of them at peace with each other.   ‘Horace’ was the odd one, chasing three incomers off his territory.   The three saw him coming and paddled outside the ‘Horace boundary line’;   only ‘Horace’ knows where his ‘boundary line is, but any interlopers seem to learn quickly enough where it is.  




 20.30    When the wind went round to the East, just after midday, the haar didn’t take long to come in;  as far as I can see, from the weather forecast, it’s to be overcast tomorrow and for the next couple of days.   The past few days have been excellent, for this time of year;  and I enjoyed them.  The bike battery has been charged and is ready for the next spell of sunny (Spring) weather.

I suppose, if it’s going to be foggy tomorrow I won’t need to bother about sunrise:  I get

Muircambus Mill.

up at that time anyway, it’s just that I won’t go to the beach until later.    Hey .... I might actually do some work around Ivy Cottage!   Of course the haar may thin out in the middle of the day;  and give us a sunny spell or two.

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
