Bright and breezy ....

3rd November 2022 (Thursday)       08.30 .... thankfully the wind has


moderated overnight and we have a calmer, but slightly colder, day.  I’ve been to the harbour and the car is back at the gate so Ferry Road is ‘GO’ again.    The workmen are removing the roof of the old kitchen at Ferry Lodge so its ‘GO’ all around this morning.   I’m enjoying the sound of building work; though it will be quieter once the demolition part of the work is done.  




18.30    What a beautiful day we’ve had....the wind dropped away to zero and we ended up with ‘bright sunny and balmy’ afternoon.    I went to the beach and nearly fell asleep on Nana’s Seat.... I sat there for almost an hour just watching people strolling along the beach.   It was a perfect afternoon for strolling. 

Work is going on apace at Ferry Lodge;  the wall outside, what was Maggie’s ‘Office’ window has gone; I’ll get better photographs tomorrow.   I went to Sainsbury’s (Leven) then up to Alice’s to have lunch, that was followed by chatting to Alice and her friend Joyce for 20 minutes before I left the girls to enjoy their girlie couple of hours.   I was back in Ivy by 14.30. and had a quick cuppa before going to the beach.


Tom and Natalie’s laurel hedge is already looking good; and will give them back the privacy lost when the previous hedge, a mix of Russian Vine and other bushes was removed.

22.30   All I have done this evening is doze in front of the tele...watching bits of different programmes;  including one about the Great Wall of China that I wanted to watch from start to finish.  All the fresh air I have had today must have made me tired;  it certainly wasn’t work. 


The Master Plan for tomorrow is; to go up to Elie (on the bike) for the paper.... and buy

two scones at the Bakers, before charging the bike battery.   Then... after lunch I will bike up to Kinneuchar, with the aforementioned scones, to visit Shona.   Right now it’s chocolate time!

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
