Mostly cloudy .....

4th July 2026 (Saturday)      11.30 .... I've taken a chance wi' the weather and hung out a

washing;  light rain is forecast, but I'm hoping it will miss us.  Anyway the afternoon is going to be brighter so the washing should dry, even if it does get another light rinse.    

The local  crow is telling me that there's a cat around, and he (the crow) is not happy with that.    Not only that, the Rowan tree got a serious pruning overnight;   something heavy (Wood Pigeon?) must have landed on it, because a few of the branches have been broken off!  

12.45   The sky is breaking up, with loads o' blue bits;  with, and, this is the good bit, a moderate drying wind.   John (JB) and James are back home after their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela;  and I have another nine photographs on the Frameo to photograph.    I'd better find something to eat;  I'm hungry.   

21.30     It has been a nice enough day;  we only had one light shower, and it didn't last long.   Anyway

the washing is dry and ready to be ironed after this update.    Jackie has a bed to fall into when she arrives tomorrow afternoon;  all I need to do in the morning is run round with the 'oover.    I've just noticed that it's now raining!..... perfect for the tubs.   I'm an extremely happy 'boy'.   

I've been out at the bin, and the air is cooler tonight;  and wet.    'Light rain with a moderate Westerly breeze' is forecast for Sunday.   It will be a 'rest day!

Ferry Road was busy with cars  (bikes attached to the stern) today.  They will have turned left at

Ferry Corner, on their way to Elie.  What?  ..... they could have turned right, and be moored up in Earlsferry? .... the ancient, Royal Burgh?  Never!    

In fact, this is the beginning of the main holiday season.    I hope the weather in a bit better than it is just now, and our holiday makers enjoy their stay in Elie and Earlsferry. 

Today's photographs are all from the Frameo... and taken by John, when he, and his pal James, did part of one of the many the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela.

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...
