I wonder what 2013 will bring to the folk in the walkers group? Good health and happiness I hope, and wee touch of prosperity wouldn't go amiss. Keeping near to home again just incase we had snow, we chose to walk from Kinghorn to Burntisland. We don't usually like walking near main roads but today we drowned the traffic noise out with all the blethering we were doing. A lot of chat to catch up on re Christmas and New Year festivities.
The weather was great for a brisk walk and the scenery across the Forth as always deserves a mention. Inchkeith seemed to be standing out in 3d and the view would have made a great jigsaw for those with that interest. Once in Burntisland, we walked up Craigkennochie Terrace just to ensure we took in the very best views. We were all admiring the beautiful old villas and guessing the current market prices. We crossed over to Manse Place where the houses were a mixture of 19th to 21st century yet all fitted into the area comfortably. Once in the High Street conversations changed to the types of shops, and sadly the empty premises, but there was a good community feeling about the place. Our waterhole today was Potter About, a lovely and very well managed cafe/bistro /shop/and childrens play area, where we had organised 14 scones to be waiting for us. Unfortunately we were looking forward to some live music but the musicians were unwell. It is a nice atmosphere in the cafe though so we enjoyed our visit all the same. We could have chosen at that point to take a bus back to Kinghorn but the vote was to walk back again as it was still daylight. Once back at the start where Stephen informed us that we had walked 5.8 miles, we stood in the grounds of the former Cabarfeidh Nursing Home, formed an impromptu circle and as is our habit, said a wee prayer before departing for home. We do know how fortunate we are. Lang may our lums reek.
