Whether dependent
First up a film – Paul’s mum found this and I warn you, if you have not been to Scotland for some time look away now, because it will make you cry. In a good way, and remember our cities are still full of litter and badly designed traffic systems, just like yours. Scotrail ground…

Gazing with ganders
We had a very successful event last night for DB Astro (link at the side there) with a visit to the dark site afterwards. I did not attend the latter, not feeling too chipper since so far this calendar year I have had two colds and one episode of acute back pain, but hey ho,…

Winter
Glorious day here on Sunday, which happily meant a walk on the beach in Aberdour. Hooray for that and for other better news.

Gullible
So, last night, as the heatwave shows no sign of abating, it was back to Aberdour beach to watch the birds clean up the day’s food litter.

Bauxite no more
Roasty toasty Fife still and ever on – went to Burntisland yesterday, and the scene was just lovely – every café was full to bursting, there were queues outside the chippies for cones of chips and cones of ice cream, screams from the shows*, and once I made it to the pool, delight as…

I tried to upload some pictures from last Saturday’s very successful gala day in the Bay, the sun shone down, some might say mercilessly, but that would be churlish. But just in case you are interested, I have noted (way) below the chief reasons why I don’t like sunny days. Anyway, back to the gala,…

Braw Day
So, here we were in Aberdour today, on a bike ride (him) a long walk (me), and attending the opening of the new Harbour Art Gallery, down by the harbour, as one may guess. Sunshine, people outside in shorts and dresses, shaking their heads in disbelief as the mirk is pulled away, as if by…

Marinating
Yesterday evening the Mincers payed a benefit gig for the RNLI, at Dalgety Bay Sailing Club. All we did was turn up and play, the organisers did extremely well and raised £750. Haven’t been in the club for some time, and the views are lovely, so I took the camera along. The below…

Winter walk
Yesterday we managed to escape for a wee while and enjoy the soft winter sunshine along the coastal path between the Bay and Aberdour. We did spot a carrion crow tapping away on a small window towards the top of a house by the golf course. On closer inspection of the picture it may have…

Sweet Wemyss
Yesterday was one of those lovely bright winter days that fool the birds into spring time behaviour, so not to be outdone, and to celebrate a long overdue redd oot* of the garage, we went exploring, this time to West Wemyss, a village I had never visited. There are some beautiful examples of Fife architecture…
