Hello Hello Hivians and Wednesday Walkers
This was actually my walk on Saturday.
As you will see there were a couple of variables that were outwith my control. In other words I was not sure where I would be going or if it was going to rain in which case I would be nipping inside somewhere and grabbing a coffee lol!
Today I am walking back in time to the afternoon of Saturday 27th January and all these pictures have been captured with my smartphone.
I did take my camera but those photos are still on memory card and I have not gone through them yet!
Wrap up warm and let's go!
Well this is where we start today, it is the warm memorial that also serves as a library, art gallery and cafe. Mrs T has a crochet club there so after we walked to the club I set off on my adventure!
The weather, I did not bring my umbrella, but I was wearing my winter fleeced hoodie so fluff it, away we go!
Decisions Decisions which way to go?
I do like the sign posts that are popping up now, and the wee info maps, always makes things look great.
Made my mind up, it is to the seafront we shall go.
So we need to get to the High Street first and this is us going past the Sherriff Court!
Can you name the three flags on the roof / on the flag poles?
Look at the back of that car, can you see the red L on the white sign?
That is L for Learner so in theory the car is being driven by someone who has not passed their test.
What do you use in your country to show a learner driver?
Well thankfully it is brightening up a wee bit, you can see a gorgeous blue in the sky.
This part of the High Street is still used as in there are no empty shops which is always a good thing.
This was behind me and where I had just come from. Can you see a wee queue on the left, that is the bank, I had just used the ATM.
Right onwards we go.
Where is an alley or street to duck down.
The lights on the left are a pub which was put up for sale, so it must have been bought as it is open again, that is always good to see.
Do you see the sea at bottom?
Well to walk along the beach the tide needs to be out.
Whilst the sea looks calm, I can't tell from here whether the tide is in or out!
So let's find out!
Oh no it was high tide!
Well that means no walking along the esplanade or does it?
The steps down to the beach!
Did we bring our scuba equiment? Nope.
It's not happening!
Yes that would be a soaking if we went down those stairs!
Do you see all the ships in the distance?
The have those staircases all along the esplanade but the it is the same story.
We are going to head towards the buildings at the bottom.
So no beach combing today and it is back on the tarmac and walking on the esplanade.
Can you something in the distance that is red?
Do you see it now more clearly?
A big steel red heart that was installed a couple of months ago and was the first time I had seen it!
This guy was taking a picture of this love in the heart his motorbike!
Enough with the heart, actually I took a load of pics with the camera and will save for a rainy day!
In meantime about turn and let's get a move on!
Yes it is going to be back uphill to the library and the war memorial.
I have seen a few posts about Bikes on Hive recently.
This is a cool place as they also promote cycling in the community.
They are called Lang Toun Cycles.
Lang Toun being Scottish for Long Town.
Because Kirkcaldy is indeed a Lang Toun!
Now it was time to head up the Wynd.
These are two of my favourite buildings in the town.
The Auld Kirk is on the left and they have finished renovating it, so I shall show you that in a different post.
Before we walk on, I shall show you the supermarket scurge!
I wonder if you guess what it is?
Yes trolleys or supermarket shopping carts, they end up bloody everywhere!
Even at the bottom of the entrance to the Auld Kirk!
There we shall close this walk as I have realised I am only half way though!
So this will be part 1 and next week I shall conclude it.
This post is for a January walk of 2024 for #wednesdaywalk which was started by the wonderful
