Misty morning ....

24th August 2021 (Tuesday)    09.00 ....I set out to go for the paper but found


that the bike battery was low, so I went to Chapel Green to get a few misty photos.    The battery is being charged and should be fully charged by lunch time.

When I got round to Chapel Green I spotted a creel boat coming in by the Beacon so I quickly (my ‘quickly’ isn’t very fast) trotted down the path to get a clear picture.   When I got back to Maggie’s seat a ‘Aychouk’, (Mark’s dog) came across to see me:  I had seen someone on the green, but thought it was the Elie Yoga folks getting ready to go.   What a welcome I got ;  I thought ‘Aychouk’ would have forgotten me.   She’s a lovely dog, and we’ve always got on well... a 'love' affair that started when she was a pup.  

The sun is forecast to burn the fog back by lunchtime, by which time I will have a fully charged bike, and I’m in the mood for Balcarres.   So.... hopefully the forecast is right.

Balcarres Estate.

12.30   The new wind proof glasses have been delivered, and will be perfect for windy/ cold weather;  there’s nae wind today but I’ll give them a test run when I go out in the afternoon.   The sun is struggling to burn off the mist;  I’m hoping it is successful, before I go out in the afternoon.

21.30   I had a really enjoyable bike up to Balcarres in the sunshine;  yes the sun broke through, though the haar was never far away.    It was lovely on Balcarres Estate, but you could see the haar hanging around Kincraig cliffs and Largo Bay.  By the time I reached Kinneuchar, on the way home, I could feel the cool onshore breeze;   something I hadn’t felt up on Balcarres.    I went into the Pony Field, when I got back to The Ferry, to pick (and eat) a few brambles... and take a few haar photographs:

Haar over Earlsferry.

The bike battery went ‘on charge’ as soon as I got back to Ivy.   I should go somewhere tomorrow;  the forecast is, once again, good, I’ll have a fully charged battery (so will the bike), and the camera card has  been emptied.   Mind you I have some ‘ousework to do in the morning.

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
