Nice morning ....

18th January 2025 (Saturday)     09.00 ....  There's a lot of cloud about just now, but 'sunny

intervals with a moderate breeze' is forecast for KY9.   The air feels slightly cooler than it has been of late, but it's still warm for this time of year.  Everything is wet, but it hasn't been raining;  it's just dampness. 

I didn't go down to the beach at sunrise time;  it was a bonnie sunrise, but not spectacular.    I've had breakfast and now need another cuppa.

20.30    The sunny intervals were few, but we did have some brighter spells in an otherwise grey sky.   Most ft the sunshine was along the 'sooth side.  After that cuppa mentioned above, I felt that Alice must be in need of annoying....(and she had been baking biscuits), so  went to Methil.  

The roads busy for a Sunday:  then found out, when I got to Alice's, it was Saturday!   That explained the busy roads.  We had a cuppa, with cake and biscuits;  then went to West Wemyss for a run in the car.  West Wemyss is a bonnie village and we must go there on a bonnie day to walk.... and photograph it.  I'll take the 'hurdy gurdy' .

There was a bonnie light about but a bit misty for the longer range shots.   We only did the East end of the village (St Adrian's Kirk end), and will do the West end (harbour) in the Spring.   Jim and I recorded  the kirk a good few years ago now;  I must find the photos and let you see the inside;  it has a spectacular mural. 

Alice went down onto the beach:  I stayed at the top of the access steps.   It is not a bonnie beach due to the need for rock armour to prevent erosion that is seriously threatening this part of the Fife coast.


I can hardly believe it but my oldest Great Grandson Henry will be one year old tomorrow!   My word how time flies.  I'll put a photo up tomorrow!

22.15    I'm ending the day with a migraine..... and have taken the pills so should have a good night's sleep!    And Sunday is a  'rest' day!    I'll go for the paper then might have a run to the harbour to catch the sunrise (08.29) if the sky looks promising.   I'm off to make a cuppa before bed.

It's good to see that a 'cease fire' is happening in the Middle East .... albeit one with some 'conditions'

attached.   The problem with the world today is that it's awash with weaponry;  and  politicians stupid enough to think using them brings peace. Not a good mix.  We live in worrisome times.

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...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
