Navigation

It was a lovely sunny and bright day and very calm – which was in complete contrast to the strong winds of yesterday.  I started my day with a run again – the same route as yesterday.  There were great views in all directions.  I did get tangled up in a “dogs obstacle course”, as it was described to me , on my way back – but escaped unscathed. 
 
I popped out for provisions and paid a visit to the local bakers, before having a wander around Crail,  I sat on the rocks near the harbour and read my book for a while until I couldn’t stand the flies buzzing around any longer.  My mum and dad arrived around lunchtime, and first things first I had to get the kettle on for them.  Tea was required!
 
We four spent the afternoon pottering around Crail – it was so lovely in the sunshine, almost like summer.   We spotted a pod of dolphins swimming past.  They were quite a long way out and binoculars would have been helpful, but there were quite a few of them and they were performing for us!  That was the highlight of my day – if not my holiday.  We then went for tea and cakes in the harbour café and enjoyed the views, though we were a little late to benefit from the heat of the sun.
 
We continued our wander and then took the grandparents home for a rest.  Later I popped out for my pre-tea constitutional then once I was home, I made tea.  We all chilled out in front of the TV and had an early night.
 
This carving is above a doorway on the old custom house in Crail.  It shows ursa major which represents navigation.  The building dates from the seventeenth century.
