Reading My Way Around the World

The East Neuk of Fife

The harbour at Pittenweem

One of my favourite things about touring around folk clubs is that we go to out of the way places - not on the first call of the tourist trail.

We spent the weekend with some old friends and on Sunday we all headed out for a drive around The East Neuk of Fife - that's the East Nook, or East Corner of Fife for us non Scottish speakers.   


We visited several farm shops - they are so lucky to have so many of them - I only know of one in our area and it's about 50 miles from where I live.
I spotted this wee family of ducks out in the rain ...

It was a bit of a wild day - a spot of rain got onto my camera lens

We popped into another big farm shop place - at Cambo - where they have dozens of varieties of snowdrops - and a whole family of cheeky little piglets … like this wee fellow.

someone spent a lot of time planting them.

Fabulous skies as dusk fell


And finishing up in St. Andrews….

A good time was had by all.

  3. I love those pictures, especially the last few. The piglet is very cute and the skies look very dramatic. :-)

    1. The piglets were so funny Click ... it took me ages to get one of them standing still long enough to get a picture. Thanks for visiting :)
