Lovely, calm morrrrrning ....

17th March 2024 (Sunday)   It's St Patrick's Day so ...."Happy St Patrick's Day" to my Irish friends".... enjoy your Day!

08.15   After a lot of rain overnight we have a lovely calm, Spring morning.... with a mix of sunny spells

Lundin Links golf course.

and light cloud.....and  maybe the odd light shower.    I'm going to visit Alice, have a cuppa then we're going to a Craft Fair in the Old Manor (Lundin Links).   Slight 'Flap On' now.

19.30    I was surprised at the number of craft tables at The Old Manor Craft Fayre:  and the varied crafts on display.  Alice's daughter and son in law were exhibiting but they were the only crafters that I knew.   I don't think 'Fife Craft Association' are active now (Maggie and I were founder members in 1986)... most of the crafters we went to shows with will have retired.   From what was on display I'd say that the craft scene in Fife is definitely getting over the pandemic.... and looking positive.

I Googled 'Fife Craft Association' but they seem to be in abeyance;  'Made in Fife' seems to be active, but not as it was when we were members.   Anyway, we enjoyed our wander round the 'Fayre'  and


bought items.  It was very warm in the Hotel and we had to have a 'coffee break', before restarting the browsing and chatting.   I didn't take any photographs of the Fayre.   

I think that I could call this a 'rest day'.   Tomorrow's weather is 'sunny intervals with a moderate breeze' so I might go roond the villages' on the bike if it isn't too windy;  and call that  'exercise' .   Twenty years ago I'd have jogged up tae Largoward, down to Lower Largo, and home by the beach and cliffs.   Those were the 'good old days'.

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
