Today we had a trip to the East Neuk of Fife (or the east corner of the the county of Fife in Scotland). We had a good lunch in a hotel with friends and stopped later in Anstruther, a old fishing village. These days there are few fishing boats as they have mostly moved down the coast to Pittenweem,  but it's reinvented itself as a tourist town -  marina, shops and pubs.

The weather, when I was taking some photos, was taking a break from raining, but still overcast. You'll have to imagine the sunshine lighting up the painted houses and sailing boats. The tourists had come out from hiding (somewhere in the dry) and were making the best use of the reasonable weather. Boat trips to the Isle of May, an ice cream sitting on the harbour wall, a stroll round the craft shops, fishing museum and maybe a pint in a pub.

 One of the older vessels in the harbour - a restored sailing fishing boat.

 The outer harbour - with Berwick Law peeping through the harbour entrance.

 Traditional (well recent traditional) cafe food - the ice cream cone has been around for a long time though.

North from the harbour

Finally one for the street furniture geeks. 

Down one of the wynds (or lane) heading to the harbour, there it was - a Ductile Iron 550 Saracen, Grade B. Made by Stanton and Staveley Iron works, a North Derbyshire iron foundry which started up in 1846. I don't know how many of them are scattered round the country but they obviously last well - as long as nobody steals them of course.

Too far to pedal for happiness.
