Breezy ....

11th June 2022 (Saturday)     08.00 .....It’s windy, and we’re going to have


‘strong winds’ all day .... at the moment it’s F6 out in the Firth;  and there’s the chance of short sharp showers.   The History Society is unveiling a  plaque on the boundary wall of the ‘Earlsferry House’ site (the West end of the Ferry High Street) at 11.30 this morning.... the wind will be bothersome, and, hopefully, the showers somewhere else.



14.00    It was a bright and very breezy’ morning for the unveiling of the ‘Earlsferry House’ plaque.... but, thankfully, it didn’t rain.  In spite of the wind a good number of folk came to the unveiling ceremony.   Which Myra and I did with a flourish.   It was hard competing with the wind and occasional car for the speech but Graham managed ‘nae bother’.    I managed my wee bit but I wouldn’t say it was ‘nae bother’.


After the unveiling we went to the Pavilion to have  tea/coffee and sandwiches for lunch;  very enjoyable it was too.   Lunch was followed by a good old natter.   It has been a very enjoyable morning;  I felt relaxed ... happiness had beaten the shadow of COVID. 

It’s still windy so I won’t get out on the bike this afternoon;  I might tackle Chapel green in the afternoon.


20.30    This has been an enjoyable day;  but I didn’t go out on the bike.   In fact tomorrow will be a quiet day....probably scraping the romantic corner table.  I’d best have a look at the forecast for tomorrow before I decide what I’ll be doing!   ‘Sunny intervals and fresh breeze’ is the forecast so scraping the table it will be.   The wind we’ve had all day has moderated a bit and will be normal tomorrow.   Ivy garden is sheltered so it will be warm.... and a fine day for pottering.   I’ll take time out from the pottering to get a legible photo of the plaque that we unveiled today;  the history is


fascinating and it’s thanks to Graham that it has all been uncovered.   If you go into the Elie and Earlsferry History Society website and Search for ‘Earlsferry House’ you can read all about it.   You will be amazed.   I've put  links to both pages below. 

It’s a bonnie evening but still a bit breezy and cool so I’ll stay in and have an early mug o’ chocolate.  I might find something to watch on the tele.

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
