Coming to terms with retirement in Fife, Scotland.
Nature photography. Books. Education. Other stuff.
Here's a face I've never spotted before. On the wall surrounding St Andrews Cathedral, looking out to the harbour just up the hill from the Sea Yett.
Can anyone tell me anything about it? Who it is?
Even: is it actually a face or just erosion?

Peering down South Street, into the past.
St Andrews Cathedral.
The single tower to the left is a remnant of the west wall, c.1275.
The twin spires & arch are the remains of the east wall & window c.1160.
The square tower to the right, behind the tree, is St Rule's Tower c.1090.

I joined in the @rspb.bsky.social #BigGardenBirdWatch today.
An hour gazing into my garden and recording all the birds that visited.
My total?
One wren.
Thank you to that wren. I do like a wren. Still, I had rather hoped for more.
Perhaps I need to make my garden more bird-friendly.🤔

Are the traitors in St Andrews? 🤔
Or perhaps there is a Traitors party I don't know about...

St Andrews' harbour wall standing up to a belligerent sea today.

The sea is pretty whipped up in St Andrews today, battering the harbour wall.

It's haggis, but not as I know it... Chocolate? Fudge? Shortbread?

Love the patterns!
It feels much warmer today, but the puddles are still frozen over at midday in #Fife, #Scotland.

Snowdrops in the woods of #Fife, #Scotland.
A sign that winter nears an end and spring will be on its way.

Noon, and the lingering mist in the folds of the Eden Valley lends an ethereal quality in #Fife, #Scotland

There's some sort of growth on the stick I use as a clothes prop.
I don't know what it is. Perhaps I should wipe it off.
But it interests me.

Good morning from rural #Fife, #Scotland on a cold, frosty and misty morning.

I recently discovered this, The Cockfields on BBC.
Fantastic!
Warm, funny, well-observed. I am surprised I had never heard of it (it came out in 2029).
Have you watched it? If so, what do you think?

Never judge a book by its cover.

Stopping for a hot chocolate in the lovely Eden Coffee Shop, Balmalcolm, #Fife, #Scotland.
Lovely to sit by the fire. And for a bonus, you might be able to make out my wife and me in reflection!

The little waterfall at Kemback, #Fife, #Scotland, has been strengthened by the recent thaw and overnight downpour into a raging torrent!

On Falkland Hill today in the snow, I was delighted to spot a roe deer crossing our path.
