Nice morrrrning but breezy ....
23rd June 2021 (Wednesday) 09.00 .... it’s cloudier and windier but not cold;
a good morning for working. I actually remembered to get the papers this morning before going to the harbour and Elie Estate: all is good in both places. I need to go up to Elie later in the morning so will get a morrrrrning coffee at ‘arbour ‘ouse; I’ll take the car so that I can ‘ave the coffee in a parking spot overlooking Kinneuchar.
21.30 My main occupation in the afternoon was reading today’s newspapers (Scotsman and East Fife Mail). The most interesting items were; the site of the Leven to Thornton rail link station, which is going to be behind the swimming pool complex; and ..... the new ‘green routes plan’ for walkers and cyclists. The ‘Green Route Plan’? .... that would see the quieter ‘back roads’ given lower speed limits and new signage to let you know that they are walking and cycling friendly routes. I doubt if there will be many checks on speeding ....except after accidents: Both items of news in the East Fife Mail.
Later in the afternoon I went up to Balcarres in the car and had a walk round another part of the Woodland Walk. The Woodland walk can be any length you want to make it.... two or three miles if you wander up the den etc. I have done the Den Walk from Robin Gray’s all the way to Lathallan Mill by way of the old footpaths, many of which are now overgrown by rhododendrons. In fact some of them were overgrown then and I

clambered my way through them: that was in 2012 the last time I did that walk; the year after I had my knee replacement op.
We’ve
just had a light shower: it is warm and humid so a shower isn’t
surprising. It’s going to be warm and humid, with sunny
spells tomorrow morning; some showers developing in the afternoon.
