2nd August 2026 (Sunday)     11.00  .... It's a lovely morning   The Troops are off, for a walk,  to

the 'Paper shop' to  get milk (Blur Top).    Meanwhile I've got The Buggy'out of it's nest:  the 'plan is to go up to Chapel Green , where 'The Small  Troop' can run about and tire themselves out.   At the moment we have a light breeze from the West but that is 'backing' to the ESE later in the afternoon, bringing in a change of weather eventually;   mostly light wet stuff!

15.30     e have enjoyed a sunny and warm afternoon  and the villages have been  busy.   I got 'The Buggy' out (that reminds me i need to bring in the pavement ramp) and we went up to Chapel Green to Maggie's Seat, to get a few photographs of 'troops in action'. 

I've just brought the ramp in;  and Ferry Road was quiet!   Of course ....most folk will already be down on the beach!    When all the beach-goers are on the way home, is when Ferry Road will be busy again.

Emily, John and the 'Troops' are out meeting Tori's (Venue 45) sister and family.   I imagine they will be having an ice cream;   because it'a definitely an ice cream kind of afternoon.

The middle part of Ferry High Street is a bit like a building site just now, with work going on at both sides of the Street.

I'm going to make a cuppa and go up to the Hutte and have a cat=nap.

23.30    'The Troops are off home tomorrow, and. my word. I'll miss them.    I've learnt more from Henry and Austin than they have off me:  and they kept me on my toes... well almost on my toes.   I've come to the conclusion that, from about  6 weeks old, a baby's natural instinct, when they see things, is to 'wonder'.    That's when their brain begins to acquire inquisitiveness:  an inquisitiveness that will make them into the adults they grow into;   and be with them all their lives..... aye, even 88 year old 'adults' are inquisitive.    Henry and Austin have 'inquisitiveness' in abundance!.... as does Sorley, their cousin in Inverness.   

Anyway 'The Troops' have been .... and taught 'Gram B' many things;  not least the fact that I need a lot

five foot high shelves  all over Ivy:  their ability to transfer anything to somewhere else is utterly amazing.

It's bedtime and we have a morning ahead, as Emily John and the boys are heading back to Somerset inn the early afternoon.

Today's photographs taken when out on The Buggy this afternoon.

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.

4th April 2026 (Saturday)     09.40 .... We have a bright and breezy' morning;  a good morning for the joggers (been there done that.... and i wish I could do it now) that were out early.    I shall have morning coffee in 'The Hutte, because although the sky is cloudier now that it was earlier, we still have sunny spells, but light rain showers are mentioned in the weather forecast for KY9:  with gales overnight into Saturday morning. 14.45    I've been doing some research;  and playing with the pictures I got, off the Photo Frame, last night.    The weather has deteriorated ans we not have an overcast sky, with occasional spells of light rain;  and the wind has freshened a bit.    I'm going to make a fresh cuppa, then settle down to watch the News.     And have my afternoon catnap!   I blame the cat that meandered in yesterday;  it reminded me that I enjoy a catnap! 19.30  ...
