Bright, sunny ....

29th April 2021 (Thursday)     08.30 .... We have a gorgeous but chilly


morning;  however it is warm sheltered from the fresh Northeast wind.   It’s a good day for having my hair cut;  I’ll be wearing a heavy duty woollen hat!   Showers are forecast for later.... they add interest to a photograph;  as long as they are active a few miles away.  

I’m wondering if I should be brave and have a sortie down to the beach?    The wind direction means that the dunes will provide some shelter. 

09.30    It’s a bonnie morning .... and not that cold, even exposed to the wind.   I had a daunder to the beach, which was quiet but, as ever, bonnie.    I only had a short walk as I need to get organised for Leven.   I see the clouds are beginning to bumble across;  it could be an interesting afternoon.  Right now I’d better go and write some kind of list, for things I need when in Leven.  

Letham Glen (Leven).

 15.30    My word;   I am one happy bunny after having my hair cut.   Kirsty certainly earned her money today;  it was like shearing a sheep.    I am now sporting a very comfortable ‘Aldershot’ haircut;  well, perhaps  not quite  ‘Aldershot’ but it is shorter.....  and much more comfortable.  

This is the first time I have been further West than the bridge over the Cocklemill Burn, at Kinneuchar Station, since December.    The biggest difference I found on the journey, was the new road surface at the West end of Lundin Links;  that is a massive improvement and one that was long overdue.    Apart from that, and the roads being busy with traffic, not much has changed.  

21.00    It looks like being a nice day tomorrow, and this is a Bank Holiday weekend;  that means the streets will be busy.    I’ll have to be up, out and back in early;  I have a lot of things to do around Ivy, so I’ll be able to stay “out o’ the way” after that.    I’m a happy boy tonight .... and a tired one ‘cos I did a fair amount of walking in Leven.   Getting my hair cut made me feel that things are getting back to a sort ‘normal’.   I have


just had a look at the few photos in Leven today.... some of the Cherry trees in Letham Glen.   It will be a few days before they (Letham Glen Cherry trees) are at their best:  it may be a short lived ‘best’ but my word it is an impressive ‘best’.

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...
