Lovely morning ....

28th September 2021 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... although breezy and cool, the


‘paper run’ was enjoyable this morning.   I went to Kinneuchar then came home by way of Elie Estate and a tour of the villages:  Everywhere seemed to be quieter than of late;  then again, it was a holiday weekend, and the roads were extra busy then.

We had a bonnie ‘light’ this morning and I think I got a few bonnie photos of Kinneuchar;  I’ll check today’s batch,  after I have breakfast.


15.00    We’ve had some light rain for the past couple of hours.... but the sky looks like it’s beginning to break up already.... we might have a lovely evening.    Tomorrow looks like being the ‘good day’ this week;  so the bike being charged up as I type.  Jings;   no wonder I am tired.... typing and charging up the bike battery.... two things going at the same time!.... I need a cuppa.


21.30   When the sky brightened up at sunset time I ventured down to the beach;  the heavy rain clouds had moved away to the East, leaving us with a batch of bonnie clouds needing to be photographed.    Luckily I had the camera with me.   There was a few other folk enjoying a walk on the beach, on what was a ‘romantic’ kind of evening.

‘Sunny with a moderate breeze’ is the weather for us tomorrow so I will be up and out early.... and intend going out again in the afternoon.    Tomorrow is going to be a ‘play day’.   I’ve had a busy day today;  out on the bike in the morning, had a surprise visit from Lexie, (she must have heard about my coffee making skills ‘cos she turned down my offer of a cuppa);  we chatted about Chris’s funeral at Perth yesterday, which we didn’t manage  go to.... then I took Lexie to Elie, in the car, to get bread.   I was loaded with ‘secrets’ but I’ve forgotten them all.

If I was a European HGV driver, it would take an awful lot of money to get me to come to


the UK on a three month visa.   This wasn’t how ‘Utopia’ was going to be after Brexit.   Orf to make the chocolate;  oh dear... I hope the panic buyers don’t start ‘panic buying’ chocolate!

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...
