Lovely morning ....

30th September 2023 (Saturday)      09.30    There’s nae wind!     It’s misty,


but peaceful.... and the sun should break through before midday.   I went for the paper (in the car because I was out of milk) and visited the harbour.... now I am ready to play, watch the golf intermittently.....and work(?).    ‘Work’ will be making a batch of Melting Moments.   That’s the ‘plan for today; now I’ll have another cuppa, then birl round the villages on the bike.



16.00   Although the sun never broke through for any length of time, it has been a pleasant enough day.  I eventually went out on the bike;  up to and through Elie Estate then home by way of Elie and Chapel Green.   With the trees overhanging the road, going through the Estate was like biking through a dark green tunnel;  and a popular one.   As expected, the loch was like a mirror so good for
reflections ....but not as good as it would have been had the sun broken through.   It was bonnie in a quiet way.... so I was enjoying myself.  The tide was in at Elie so I got a few more reflection shots before going up to Chapel green; I didn’t go to the harbour as the Toft road was busy.  I think this is the Fife holiday weekend so the villages could be busy with day trippers; if the weather is fine.



18.30   I didn’t get the Melting Moments done;  I got all the ingredients and baking trays organised;  but the golf was too exciting, to go and work in the kitchen.   Tomorrow is the last day of golf so the Melting Moments will be done on Monday.

I see that the rain has arrived ..... and might still be with us first thing tomorrow


morning;  the forecast isn’t that exciting for Sunday.... ‘drizzle and a moderate breeze’ in the morning, and the chance of sunny spells in the afternoon.    I’m going to visit Alice in the morning;  she was at Gretna Green with  her daughter and son in law (Theresa and Sandy) today.

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
