Bright and breezy ....

12th September 2025 (Friday)     08.30 ....  It's  a lovely morning;  a bit windier  (SW) than

we've had lately so it will feel cooler, and, though mostly sunny, there's a chance of showers in the afternoon.   A nice day to be going to Leven Golf Club, to have lunch with the girls.   I haven't been outside yet, but I can see the branches walloping about on the apple tree.   I'd better pick up some of the apples to make myself an 'Eveline's Pudding'!

11.00    I went up to Elie (in the car) to buy milk, and get some money from the ATM cash point.    I'll need to take box with me box to stand on in future, if I need to use the machine  when the sun is on it.   Luckily there was a couple, out walking their dog, that helped me so it was a successful mission .... eventually.

18.45    Kirsty, Myra and I enjoyed our lunch at Leven Golf Club:  It was 'Fish n' Chips Lunch' day, so the three of us had Fish n' Chips, as did most of the folk;  and it was busy.  Which is understandable because it was good value for the money.


I always look forward to Kirsty's 'Mystery Tour' journey home:  today we visited Dumbarnie Links Clubhouse car park, for a look round; then home by way of Colinsburgh, Arncroach, Higham Toll, Largoward, Robin Gray's and Kinneuchar.   
We had some rain at times, but most of the time I was able to take photographs from the car.  Actually there was some interesting thunder clouds around at the time.



The patio thermometer only reached 17.6C this afternoon;  the coolest the patio has been for a number few weeks.   There has been a notable drop in temperature for the past couple of days;  Autumn is with us.   The leaves on the trees are already beginning to look dowdy;  soon they'll be in their Autumn colours.

22.30    It has been a lovely day;  I even enjoyed the rain!    We had a few reasonably heavy
showers, an interesting sky.... and I didn't have to water the floo'er tubs.

The person suspected of shooting  Charlie Kirk has been arrested;  but I  worry about the US of A just now.    Politics in the USA is on the edge of catastrophe;  and, it will take brave, and clever leadership to sort it all out.

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...

7th May 2025 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is today's weather forecast for.... KY9, Ellon, Uckfield (Sussex) and London:  it's going to be a bonnie day all over the UK.  The breeze is from the Easterly direction so the East coast will be cooler; but it will be warm sheltered from the breeze.   It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning at Elie and Earlsferry:  the sky is a mix of fluffy clouds and blue bits, and the temperature is 11.6C just now.   3.3C was the minimum overnight.  20.30     I'd been reading about the cyber attack on M & S, Harrods and the Co-op... so, feeling inquisitive, for my morning 'mission' I decided to go to The Store (Ainster) and see how the 'attack' was affecting our local 'Store'.   The first thing I noticed was the car park wasn't as busy as normal and all the Disabled spaces were empty.  Inside the store,  the empty vegetable and fruit...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
