Clouds and sunny spells ....

17th December 2022 (Saturday)     09.15 ....It’s cold but not frosty and


there’s a lot of cloud about.     The sun is ‘up’ and we’ve had an early sunny spell;  ‘light cloud and a fresh breeze’ is the weather forecast ... with sunny spells and a low chance of precipitation (showers).  The wind is frisky so there will be a bit o’ wind chill.  There should be interesting clouds.




20.45    I photographed my way round The Ferry when delivering  the Christmas Cards this morning , and ended up resting my weary legs and  having coffee with Irene and Ken.   It has been a good day for being out, though I was warmly wrapped up against the frisky wind.   Having done The Ferry’ I had a light lunch and a short catnap before taking the car up to Elie at sunset time and delivering a few of the Elie cards.    I’ll finish the cards off tomorrow.

The new 'Four Winds'.

I met Chris (Mennie) coming out of his Mum’s when delivering Dorothy’s card so I  went in and had a chat with Dorothy.   I must visit Dorothy more;  she is one of our original Ferry Road friends.   I was getting ready to leave when Dorothy got a phone call from Chris;  Izzy and Alice had turned up to visit me.   Luckily Chris met them and was able to tell me that they had turned up.   They had the kettle ‘on’ by the time I got 

back to Ivy, to entertain two of my ‘girlfriends’.   It’s not easy being me.   The girls had the coffee organised, so we had a happy hour chatting and having a good old reminisce and laugh.

We had a cracker o’ a sunset sky which I captured from ‘The Toft’;  not a super spectacular sunset but a bonnie mix of warm colours.   This should mean a ‘delightful


day’ tomorrow;  but there’s a Yellow warning of ‘snow, rain and ice’ for Fife tomorrow, so we’ll have to wait to see what we get in the morrrrrrrrning.   The gritter went round the Ferry this afternoon so the Fife roads Dept. must be expecting ice ... even Elie and Earlsferry.

Maureen (Lesley's sister) was telling me that the diversion route (via Largoward is going to be in place until sometime in January, because of the inclement weather (frost).

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...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
