Hello Hello Hivians and welcome to the middle of the week!
Do you have a comfort zone?
I must admit I have always loved trying new things. Of course the older I get, the less dare devilish they become. No more playing the hunted in the jungle chases of the shrunken head cannibal eating Liberian Gbalin tribe for me!
No no I am too chicken for that now!
On the trail of the heritage centre.
Some of you may know that Mrs T loves to collect seaglass and me loving fresh air often goes along to help / take pictures of other things!
That is some pieces of glass that we have collected from our local beach once it was rinsed and washed.
I had booked us a crafty course last Saturday 8th February 2025 to do with sea glass.
It was in a wee town called Methil which is about ten miles up the coast.
Lower Methil
Methil is split into two parts, Upper Methil and yes Lower Methil where we were going!
A tale of 2 weathers
This picture sums up winter weather here. We joke that if you wait five minutes the weather will change!
Look on the left and you see blue sky, but on the right it is grey and wet. It is almost as if two pictures were put together to have one shot!
There has always been a shipbuilding presence to Methil
Now they have wind turbines everywhere!
Can you see the street sign ...
Methil Brae
Brae is Scottish for a little hill...
So it makes sense that if you are in Lower Methil, a brae would take you up to Upper Methil or simply Methil..
So turn around and you see ...
But we are staying on the level and going past this row of houses.
I love how these crescents of houses look, variety is the spice of life as they say!
It does solve parking problems.
But look at that weather!
We had taken an Xpress bus and were wealking the rest of the way, however the clouds were heavy with rain.
Methil Ex-Servicemen's Club
Unlike the US we do not take care of our servicemen and women, so it was good to see something being done here.
You can see the row of houses in Upper Methil.
Follow that wynd and you will end up at the Harbour.
Our destination Methil Heritage Centre
But can you see the purple door... It is locked!
It is 10.15am and it does not open up until 11am... and fluff it, the heavens opened ...
We needed to find shelter..
Too early to start drinking... Well now it is, in my youth of course I would have been straight in there, in fact probably stayed and miss the class🤣
They had a cool art shop!
Do you recognise this ...
It is from Kirkcaldy and is our local heart on the promenade!
Tadaaa look we saw a Cafe!
Cooks Cafe
Anything to get away from this rain which was bouncing now!
Possibly the best value for money Scottish breakfast in 2025
My oh My that was fluffing awesome and only cost £4.90.
It is worth the bus fare just to get there to eat!
But it was time to go, all of a sudden we were goign to be late!
Open door!
In we dove and sat at our seat...
What was I making?
All will be revealed on Friday!
Cheers everyone!
Well this post is for #wednesdaywalk which was inspired by @tattoodjay
Thanks for visiting and I hope you managed to get out for a walk this week.
