Bright and breezy (so is the weather)....

27th  May 2023 (Saturday)     08.00....  ‘Sunny intervals with a fresh breeze'

Cruise ship 'Queen Victoria'.

  is our weather forecast for today.... and the fresh breeze is from the West and, though frisky, won’t have that harsh Easterly feel to it.   That said we are only going to get one day’s respite (from the East wind).... the wind is going back to East again tomorrow.   Anyway we have a bonnie, bright and breezy day today;  I’m feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready for a ‘play’ day.

22.00  With the weather being ‘sunny and warm kind the villages have been busy.... and will be much the same tomorrow;  though it might be cooler on the beach if the wind is off the East as it is forecast to be.

I had an enjoyable few hours in the company of Alice, who arrived off the 11.00 bus.  When I went to Elie to meet the bus there was a notice on the kirk gate advertising a Coffee Morning in the kirk hall.... but it was too late to go to that....the  bus Alice was on arrived about 11.35 (it left Leven at 11.00).   However I’d been at the Baker’s to buy goodies.... and I met Myra who had been to the coffee morrrrning and had bought me ginger bread.   I must make an attempt to get back into the habit of going to the coffee morning’s again.


After a ‘lite bite lunch Alice and I sat in the Hutte and chatted about the local history of  Elie and Earlsferry....  and Buckhaven and Methil.  We then had another cuppa before I took Alice along to Elie to catch the bus back to Leven.

Back at Ivy (I’d moored the car at the Toon Hall) I sat down to have a cuppa and fell sound asleep.   When I woke up I was starvin’ so had a bite to eat before doing a wee bit drawing.   Since then I have had a migraine, been down to the car... and home by way of the beach.   David was out at his creels and the Cunard cruise ship ‘Queen Victoria’ was leaving the Firth, having been at Newhaven (Edinburgh) for the day.... and the beach was busy.

I’m going to make a fresh cuppa then get ready for bed, after a busy and enjoyable day.


   ‘Nae plan’ for tomorrow but I’ll bike along for the paper early.... because the roads will be busy later.

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...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
