St Andrews

Fife!  The East Neuk has a special place in my heart!  I feel at home here, for many years, when things were difficult, it was my bolt hole.  

Rather than landing unexpectedly, with Lottie, on our good friend Shelagh who has two cats and an ageing dog, we are staying on a site on an organic farm, up on top of what feels like the top of the world!  Wonderful views!  

Once we had pitched the awning we nipped into St Andrews and Toppings Book Shop!  A wonderful experience for us and for Lottie!  Treats and cuddles for her, her photo taken and praises and endearments showered on her!  Coffee and biscuits for us as we browsed and helpful advice when required.  It is great to be able to just spend time browsing physical books, feeling the paper, seeing them in the flesh, to go from section to section coming across books to look at that you would never find on line.  We spent a long while there, and came away very happy with a good armful of books!  

A very cold night.  We are definitely in the north now!
