Last weekend myself, Joni and Louise tried to go out to May island seal watching. However, when we got out to the little Fishing town of Anstruther (made famous by the once-greatest fish & chips in Britain.) we descovered the boat was cancelled. Last boat of the season too, very upset. But as it was 11am and we had brought packed lucnhes we didn't fancy just going back home. Instead, Joni took us on a wild adventure up the east coast!
We started in Crail. This is the view of the harbour. As you can see - gorgeous weather. Just made it even sadder we didn't make it out onto the boat. Next to this harbour we found a lovely little tea shop which made a fantastic cup of green tea, and sold little sea-side art at extortionate prices. We ate cake instead and went for a walk along the coast. As we walked around we found these amazing stone sculptures.
And the man who was making them.
He was awesome. It only took about 10 mins to make this one. Im not sure I could have got the rocks to balance on each other in the same way if I had all day. They were great, and sat and watched him for ages before woundering further into Crail. Turns out Crail is full of little craft and art shops. And a great potter place. Decided I definitely have to take my mum there next time she is around.
After Crail we headed further up the coast in search of somewhere to eat lunch. We stopped (after some hairy coastal road driving) at the beach in Kingsbarns. Here are Joni and Lou eating lunch.
Lovely scenery. Still a beautiful day.
After lunch (no snd in sandwiches, was very pleased) we headed off to try and find some wildlife and ended up stopping at Morton Loch. That was good fun too. We found this wonderful little statue, marking the point at which a Tsunami had reached in ancient times.
We sat in bird hide for a while, watching the ducks.
There wern't any exciting birds. But there was a rather cool visitors book. We had a right laugh reading it, and couldn't help but leave our own comments.
And we found an awesome catapiller. He was well adventurous.
Even Lou had to stop to take a picture...
So all in all, a good day out in Fife. I feel like i have seen way more of the coast now.
What followed we a very boring week at work, which was filled with the best weather we have had since we got here, which was nice. And a fairly disastrous attempt at a quick lunch on the beach by me and Joni on Friday. 2 words for you - Golf Tournament. I briefly forgot the golf was on (AGAIN) and got into town to find the place swarming with bloody golf tourists. Couldn't park, couldn't buy food, surrounded by idiots who can't drive. Ugh, it was a nightmare! If i never have to see another golf club in my life it will be too soon. Bloody golfers.
Back to work tomorrow. I have a feeling this could be a big week for me....
