… if you go down to the woods today …
… you’ll never believe your eyes …
… if you go down to the woods today …
… you’re in for a big surprise …
… if you go down to the woods today …
… there’s lots of marvellous things to see …
… but you better not go alone …
… for beneath the trees where nobody sees …
… there’s someone watching you …
… a visit to remember my dad …
(see what I did there? – the Polish flag)
… then a walk along the fields …
… towards the Billowness …
… to one of my favourite benches …
… with a glorious view …
… then down to the harbour to see the seals and jellyfish …
… and other weird things …
… bit too wild for a dip …
… I love this part of the East Neuk …
… partly because of the rock formations …
… but also because it’s always quieter than the rest of the coast …
… despite it having a fascinating long history …
…going back as far as ancient burial grounds …
… and more recently being the home of a Royal Navy Air Station
during WW2 …

… at times East Wemyss has felt like a prison during Lockdown …
… but most the time I’ve just felt lucky to live where I live …
… and be able to enjoy coastal walks and fresh air on the doorstep …
… it has allowed me to explore the local woodland …
… and find a few lovely spots …
… to watch the trees change with the seasons …
… I also found the remains of the old gasworks …
… the Pictish carvings in the Wemyss Caves …
… as well as a few other weird …
… and wonderful things …
… all carefully observed by the local cats …
… Pitmedden Forest sits along the hill tops of Fife
between Abernethy and Auchtermuchty …
… I often explored the northern end when I lived in Newburgh …
… but this was my first visit to the section near Auchtermuchty …
… the walk offers tantalising glimpses of Fife …
…. and nature …
… along grassy paths …
… passing lush ferns on the forest floor …
… bare roots …
… and fallen trees …
… and a perfectly situated bench for my picnic lunch …
… with a stunning view across to East and West Lomond …
