Travelling by bus to Dunfermline today.
We were on the ball for a change today. Caught the bus to the town centre and then picked up another bus that took us to Dunfermline. There were heavy clouds when we left Cumbersheugh, but the further north and east we went, the lighter the sky became.
We walked from the bus station down towards Pittencrieff Park. On the way we were hoping to find some decent trainers for sale, but there wasn’t much to choose from. Scamp thought there were a few styles that might be useful, but not many. I may go back to Go Outdoors this week and have a look there.
The park was a different place to the High Street. Well kept grass and great views over the Forth to Edinburgh. We walked round the gardens and Scamp got a few ideas for plants for next year, all being well. Echinops was the main thing she was interested in. Big blue globe thistles that seem to attract the bees. I can see why she would like a few of them in the garden.
For me the heated greenhouse was the draw. I love walking round the pond, watching the carp and goldfish. The flowers too are just that bit more glamorous and bright than most of our garden flowers. My favourite, and PoD was the Gloriosa Flame Lily. Such a statement plant with its bright reds and yellows.
Lunch was in Wetherspoons. Fish ’n’ Chips for Scamp and Chicken Jalfrezi for me. Scamp had a glass of Barossa Ink and I had a pint of Innis & Gunn for me. A lunch that didn’t cost the earth.
We left Wetherspoons with plenty of time to cross the road and catch the bus back to Cumbersheugh, except, that bus just never came. Half hour wait for the next one and, of course, two of them came at the same time. The traffic was a bit heavy as we neared Cumbersheugh, but we weren’t driving, so we didn’t care. The X3 arrive about five minutes later and it took us home.
We watched the Great British Bake-off, or at least Scamp did. I was too busy posting the PoD on Flickr, and anyway, I couldn’t be bothered with all the giggles from the ‘bakers’. We also watched the Great British Sewing Bee just to finish off the day. It was much better.
That was a great day. Great idea Scamp, giving the wee Blue car a rest for a day!
Tomorrow, Scamp is intending to meet the witches for lunch. I may be sweating over a hot keyboard because I’ve still got a lot to do yet.
