Hello Hello Hivians
Last week the UK received a welcome surprise with a wee heatwave which marked the end of summer. And I loved it, the heatwave not the end of summer!
Today for #wednesdaywalk I am going to show you a twofer from Cinderfella. I know today is Thursday but the walk was on Wednesday so that is what counts, in my head at least!
So let's grab a grocery bag and head off down the hill!
Just look at that bonnie blue sky! I told you it was a heatwave.
This building has been renovated and I just love it. They don't make them like they used to.
Do you know what it used to be? The sign sort of gives it away ....
But first let's pop into Lidl and get some essentials.
Eggs oh goodness me what would I do without eggs! Oh no it doesn't bear thinking about!
In fact eggs potatoes and red onions that seem like
oh heck yes the bear necessities of life!
What a film that was, probably the first animated film that I can remember!
Anyway, we need to pay up and get out of here!
Oh fluff me, have you seen the size of the queue?
Fast forward a few minutes and out of the shop, up a wee hill turn right at the traffic lights and we are here..
Down the hill we go ...
There is the gorgeous building. It is beside a burn, what we call a stream, the Tiel burn which actually runs to the sea. Yes it is one of the old mills, and now offices.
Just look at the sky! And here we are looking up at a wee hill.
Actually I call it ...
Murder Hill
Because trust me, when you are walking up it with three or four heavy bags of groceries, it is pure bloody murder!
Half way up murder hill is where a few teams have been murdered right enough.
It is home to RRFC or Raith Rovers Football Club.
They are currently 2nd in the Championship, and playing some tasty free-flowing football by all accounts!
I have dropped off the groceries and now need to head off and pick up Mrs T.
I told you it was a twofer post. The first part was Cinderfella doing his grocery shopping.
So it's adios RRFC
and hello car wash
Do you take your car to be washed by hand?
Usually there is a queue of cars with this one, they do seem quite popular. But now I have timed it well, if we still had our cars we could have gotten them washed.
What are you doing for climate change I wonder?
Time to hang a right. I like this street, can you tell why?
****William Street****, William is one of my middle names!
Can you see the wee red berries of the Rowan tree. Such a distinctive leaf it has.
I do like William Street as a street, this is a typical house.
Here we go though...
Did you see the signs .... Roadworks!
But look at those gorgeous flowers!
Well this is a #wednesdaywalk post after all, so the picture is aimed at us Pedestrians or Walkers ....
Yes, Yes I can read...
Back to the street, this area of town is great, I love the gardens people have. So many bonnie flowers!
Sunflowers, well I think there must be a short stem variety as I seem them quite often here.
But I need to crack on, I am to meet Mrs T so we can go for our walk.
Turning the corner...
we come to one half of the primary school... then we walk on and turn another corner ...
Yes it's the other half of the primary school.
So on we go, quick step now! Can't be late after all!
Take another corner ...
Don't you just love these old buildings. We take them for granted.
Now back to the street we are on! And another of my favourite local streets.
Lady Helen Street, but no I do not have Helen as a middle name!
It is another peaceful street.
I do love tall reeds and bullrushes the wetlands type plants.
Not put their bins away yet. People forget how lucky we are in the UK to have kerbside pickup of our rubbish!
That is a typical semi-detached 2 bedroom bungalow on that side of the street. With some nice flowers in the garden and up the walls!
Can you see the sign?
Let's take another angle.
Yes number 15 is for sale!
See the gorgeous bue sky is still with us.
This part of town is a great area and so close to the seafront too.
Even if some of the gardens display minimalist decor!
The closer you get to the mainroad the more new and shitty looking the buildings become.
If we did move to that house for sale, this building would have been handy.
It is was a doctor's surgery. Unfortunately, they closed it down in July.
This then would appear to be the local deli coffee place.
Great you say.
Nah I say!!
They are never fluffing open!
Talking of which, I don't want to be late ...
The sea, do you see the sea!
Actually, it is never far away. I can't cope if I am too far from the sea.
Look at these gorgeous flowers on the bush by the bus stop ...
Which appear to be Hypericum patulum or Hidcote according to google...
And look there is the bus with Mrs T on it!
I was not late, even with all my dilly dallying to stop and take pictures for this post!
Next stop, a walk in the park.
It is so therapeutic you know.
This concludes my post for this week's #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by in collaboration with #makemesmile hosted by
