Overcast and cooler .....

2nd June 2021 (Wednesday)     07.30 .... At the moment we have a layer of cloud coming in from the North Sea on a brisk Easterly breeze;  however the sun will burn back the cloud to give us some decent sunny intervals, but it won’t be as warm it was yesterday.

I had a look out at the weather (at 04.30) and cancelled the plan to bike to St Monans;  there will be better mornings for doing that.   Once the sky breaks up I’ll go somewhere with the camera.

09.30   The sun is rapidly burning off the mist and we have a ‘bright and sunny’ day ahead:    I’m going to put fuel in the car after morrrrning coffee.... the ‘plan’ being to go out on the bike (exercise) after lunch.   The wind appears to be moderating slightly so the air isn’t as cold as it was yesterday.... not just now anyway.


21.30    I went for a run on the bike after ‘morning coffee’;  the wind had moderated and


it was warm, and I felt the need to go to Balcarres Estate.   The countryside is looking at its best just now, so I photographed my way up to Colinsburgh, by which time I didn’t think I had enough battery left to do what I wanted to do on the estate, so I photographed my way back home.   

The Surveyors had just about finished when I got back, but they had time for a chat;  why does everybody look so young nowadays?....  it’s not as if I am auld?   Anyway they (the surveyors) managed to cope with the garden.   I was going to offer them a cuppa but they were finished before I even had the kettle ‘on’.


The refuelling of the car was eventually done in the evening time and I went up to the Balcarres Woodland walk for a short walk round when as far as Colinsburgh (Garage) anyway.   My word the Woodland Walk is looking bonnie;  in fact I will go up there tomorrow afternoon, on the bike, if the weather is amenable.   The bike gives me more freedom to roam.

When I went up to put the bike away tonight I found a brown paper bag containing two scones:  My first thought was .... “I don’t remember buying scones.... in fact I don’t even going to the shops this morning”.    I then realised that Alan, ‘arbour ‘ouse, had been baking and must have brought the scones round.    Then I thought... “Alber my boy.... you need an ‘arbour ‘ouse morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee” ;  hopefully tomorrow morning if

Balcarres Estate.

the haar clears away!   The weather forecast for KY9 tomorrow is much the same as today’s, but slightly cloudier and cooler.

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
