Bright and breezy ....

8th March 2022 (Tuesday)   07.30 .... I am a silly boy;   I went to the harbour to


catch the sunrise only to discover that the camera battery was ‘empty’.   Then I remembered using it until I emptied it on the beach yesterday;  and forgot to change it.   Anyway, a big red ball, appeared over the East Links right on cue at the start of another bonnie day.... albeit windier.    We could have F7 - 8 by the end of the afternoon.  

12.00    My word... it’s a cracker o’ a day and I have been ‘working and playing’;  more play than work I admit, but enough work to salve my conscience.     The work bit involved wrapping the clematis cuttings into a dust sheet, and taking along to Pittenweem;  and that mission went like clockwork.   Over breakfast I decided that I’d go to Kellie Castle after Pittenweem:  I’m a Member of the National Trust, but haven’t been to Kellie since before COVID.  Although the Castle, Shop and gardens are ‘Closed’ just now, we can walk around the estate.   I enjoyed an hour at Kellie so I am a happy bunny.... and have a load of photos to ‘play’ with in the afternoon.


21.30    I am  well pleased with my photos of Kellie Castle, and will go back there next week for another session.   Next time I’ll take a mug of coffee and a goodie to have in the car: I imagine the National Trust will want the Castle etc. to be ‘Open’ for Easter.  Anyway I enjoyed my walk round today;  but would have appreciated a mug of coffee when I got back to the car.   Not that I ‘walk’ any distance;  I enjoy stopping to take photographs.

I saw the weather forecast earlier and it looks like we might miss most of the rain;  though the next few days are ‘unsettled’ with wind and showers mentioned.   I have got used to bonnie days! 

Nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow.... it will be a rest day.   Today was going to be a rest day but I


never stopped.   After lunch I went to Leven (fancied the change in direction) to do a wee bit of shopping.    I’ve been happy being busy.   I’m orf to make the chocolate and sort out some more of today’s photos.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
