Sunny and warmer ....

9th May 2021 (Sunday)  08.00 .... It’s a bright, quiet morning, and I have been

Park Place - Elie.

for the paper (in the car), and will do a ‘tour’ of the villages after breakfast.   There’s only a light breeze (E) and it is pleasantly warm this morning;  with the chance of showers  in the afternoon.

12.00    I went out (bike) after ‘morrrrrning coffee, the ‘plan’ being to go into Elie Estate then to Elie, but I forgot that the bike battery was low, so I skipped the Estate and went straight to Elie and had a look at the Woodside area .... a change of direction for me.    I browsed around Elie, with the camera, then, went back to Ivy to charge up the bike battery;  with a view to going out in the evening.    We’ve just had a fairly heavy, thankfully short, shower so the Elie Estate road will be muddy in the usual places;  I won’t be going in there for few days. 

 18.00    The showers, although a nuisance, haven’t been too frequent....  and it has been warm;  that’s a welcome change. 

 


Because of the threat of showers I had a run up to Kinneuchar to the kirkyard, in the car, to photograph three headstones for a friend in Australia..... two of them funerals that I had been at.

 I’ve just seen the weather forecast and thunderstorms have been rumbling around the North Sea all day.... and they are to continue through the night.    We should miss them.... though they might hit Aberdeenshire tomorrow morrrrrrrrrrrning.




22.30     Well.... I have just watched one of the most interesting and heart moving programmes I have ever seen;   called ‘The Windermere Children’.   It told the story of  300 children, survivors of the concentrations camps, brought to Windermere in the summer of 1945.   In its own quiet way it said more about the Nazi concentration camps, than most of the other Holocaust programmes I have watched.    A well made, and thought provoking hour’s viewing.

The weather dictates what I’ll be doing tomorrow;  the forecast is for the next few days


to be more or less ‘showery with sunny spells’: I hope that means we'll have  loads of bonnie clouds!

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...
