Snow ....

6th January 2026 (Tuesday)     09.45 .... Bit of a change this morning;  we've had an inch of snow

fall overnight!    I ventured down to Ferry Corner to get a few photographs (I probably shouldn't have, but I took my time and had my stick) for the Archive.    The sky is mostly overcast so we might get another shower;  could be of snow, or sleet.... but best of all rain!   I cancelled travelling to see Alice;  it's not driving weather .... for me anyway.  There is traffic going down Ferry Road but going real canny.

It's a 'stay in  and warm' day for me.  And it's cuppa time!


16.30     Thankfully the snow had melted away by early afternoon;  and we now have a breeze that should dry the roads by morning.   Unless we have more rain overnight.    The temperature is 4.8C just now.... and I'm hoping that it stays above freezing all night;  if it does freeze we could have slippy places on the roads.    The sky is clearing and we had a 'sunset' after a dour, and wet afternoon.

I spent my day as as planned;  staying in and staying warm.   It was raining doe a good part of the afternoon;  and the temperature dropped rapidly after midday.    Most of the afternoon I watched TV (Foyle's War) and slept.   Anyway the roads are clear now, and I should get 'out and about' tomorrow.

Weather permitting I will visit Alice tomorrow.   I think th roads will be OK;  anyway I won't leave until the sun is well up in the sky!   Clouds? ..... hopefully no clouds tomorrow!   I'll see the weather forecast in the evening.


22.45    It has been a miserable kind pf day as far as the weather went:  however at least the snow has gone and the forecast for tomorrow id brighter.    Iain and Jackie are getting plenty snow at Auchnagatt;  they have dry drifting snow, unlike the 'wet' snow we had this morning.   It made 'The Ferry'  look different for a few hours..... but I'm glad that it has gone.

I should hopefully  get to Methil to visit Alice;  and maybe even have some retail therapy. It all depends
on what the weather is doing.
I've been keeping up with the News;  most of which reminds me that the  World is in a 'mess'  just now.    I suppose we in the UK can relax:  the President of the USA won't have ro take us over like he's proposing to do with Greenland:  the 'Special Relationship' means that we are already the 51st State in everything but name.   I worry about how the UK is going to be in day 50 years!    

However, there's always some cheerful  and positive things going on that gets on to the 'News';  so it's not all 'doom and gloom'.     The problem is the kind of politician that's around just now:  and the weather we had today!

Quiet morning ....

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...

3rd October 2025 (Friday)     10.30 .... It's a quiet morning; after a lot of overnight rain this is the calm before the storm.... 'Storm Amy', that is going to bring strong winds and heavy rain, this afternoon and Saturday.  It could be a good drying morning!   Anyway all is still at the moment.   I'm going to see if I can rescue a few of the apples that are still attached to the tree.    Actually I think I'll have morning coffee first. 04 12.30    We had a power cut  (45 minutes) last night ,so I unplugged the computer.    We got the torches and candles out, chatted for a while then went to bed.

Windy and wet .....

4th August 2025 (Monday)    08.45 ....  It's breezy with light rain just now;  but the rain is going to move away and the wind freshen to 'gale', with sunny intervals and squally showers, by midday.   There could interesting clouds, and stormy seas.    I won't be going out on the bike!    High tide is at 11.20;  there will be an abundance of fresh air on the beach today.  11.00  The wind is freshening, from the SW, as can be seen in the photo of the 'Glenfuir' flags (Swiss, USA and Jersey).    Sunny intervals are starting to come over, so it's a bonnie enough day now, albeit breezy:  F5 - 6 with stronger gusts now and again. 19.30  It has certainly been a wild old day, but the wind is moderating, and tomorrow will be much quieter.   It was F8 - 9 at times out on the bay.   Which is why HMS Iron Duke (Type 23 frigate) is sheltering off Elie and Earlsferry.      HMS Iro...
