Spring like mornin'....

13th February 2023 (Monday)     11.00 .... We had a light touch of frost first


thing, but all that has gone and we now have a beautiful, calm Spring like mornin’.... and it’s warm.    I’ve been up to Chapel Green (on the bike) and intend going out again later.   This must be some kind o’ holiday as the beach was busy:  I think this might be a ‘play day’.





20.30   The villages are busy because this is the ‘half term’ holiday south of ra border;  which explains why the beach was busy.   It has been perfect holiday weather today.... and is forecast to be the same tomorrow.   When I went up to Elie in the morning there was a queue outside both ‘paper shop’ and the baker’s.   So I went down to the harbour and got the baker on the way home.  I couldn’t get parked up until I was in Bank Street... so nae paper;  but I now knew why the villages were so busy.



With me having this cold it didn’t take much for me to fall sound asleep after lunch.  When I woke up I sorted out the photographs I’d taken in the morrrrrning and it was when doing this that I thought about going out on the bike again;  by this time it was almost 15.00.   I was refreshed after the 45 minutes or so catnap, the sun was warm and I wanted to enjoy the bonnie weather.   I ended up going up to Elie then through the estate to get photographs of the loch;  on a day like to it always looks idyllic.    I don’t know how many photos of Kinneuchar kirk reflected in the loch I have in the archive but it’s a lot.   I just can’t stop when confronted by that scene on a day like today... so... 73 ‘clicks’ later I decided it was time to go home to see what I had.   I wasn’t disappointed... though I did dump about a dozen of OOF shots.   I’m a happy .... but awfie tired boy tonight.

 Myra has the car going for its MOT tomorrow morning.... and I am picking Myra up


from the garage at 09.30... and that’s the ‘plan’ for tomorrow morning.

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
