Wall to wall blue sky ....

18th May 2025 (Sunday)    09.00 .... Another sunny and cloudless morning, with a cool, but

light(just now), Easterly breeze.  I am feeling frisky, but haven't been out on the bike yet.   I've had breakfast so  won't go out for an hour or so; I'll see how frisky I am... and, probably more importantly, how frisky the breeze is at the time.

11.45   The wind has freshened, and  changed direction, replacing 'Wall to Wall' blue sky with light cloud/haar, being blown in from the North Sea.   And it's chilly.  Nae bikin' this evening.... unless the wind changes direction again!

I'm ready for lunch (East Pier St Monans);  Kirsty booked an inside table so the cauld breeze won't bother us.  That said it all depends on where Kirsty can get parked.   There's parking adjacent to the 'East Pier' so we could get lucky,and not have to walk very far.   

Charleton Golf Pavilion.
19.30    Our Sunday lunch outing to the East Pier (St Monans) was hassle free.  No problem getting parked just across from the East Pier;  and, although busy, we were quickly shown to our table, and being attended to by one of the friendly staff.   We were upstairs with lovely views South, East and West.... unfortunately we weren't at a window!   Kirsty and Myra had lobster, I had my monthly serving of fish n' chips.   Instead of having a dessert Myra had coffee, Kirsty and I chose the pavlova;  and it was excellent.    There was a buzz about the East Pier;  it was a happy place.

The wind had freshened, and it was chilly, while we were inside so we didn't wander out on the pier.   Kirsty took us for a 'mystery tour' on the way home, by way of Balbuthie, Kinneuchar, Colinsburgh, the new Eco Pavilion at the Charleton Golf Course, then out to Shell Bay Caravan Park for a mini mystery tour round the site, before going to LJ's (Shona's ice cream shop) in Elie for ice cream.   My word that is one popular ice cream shop!    Kirsty then drove home to the 'Royal Burgh'  (we are Ferry Folk)... ending a really enjoyable afternoon.  I fell sound asleep about ten minutes after Kirsty dropped me off.

20.30   There's a change in the sky tonight;  the clouds have a 'chance of rain' look.    Not that I want
rain.... but it would save me having to water the tubs!    I'm going to have a cuppa before I do water the tubs.

21.45   It's not raining here, but there's dampness in the air, and it's bitterly cold;  we might waken up to mist/fog in the morning.  
No plan for tomorrow;  got to see what the weather is actually like in the 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 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 ...
