I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought. Helen Keller
Hello Hello Hivers, have you got your walking shoes on, because we are off on a wee trip to the next town from me.
Strictly speaking it is two seaside towns away. We are in Kirkcaldy and going to go through Kinghorn and arrive in Burntisland.
These are all seaside towns in the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland.
Right then, down murder hill we shall stroll.
Why Murder hill you ask...
Try walking up that hill with bags of grocery shopping, it is murderrr I tell you!
We are now standing at the bus 🚍 stop in Linktown in Kirkcaldy in Scotland 🏴 The floodlights you can see in the previous picture are from the football ⚽️ stadium of Raith Rovers Football Club.
Aha here we go, we are taking the number 7 today. Don't be a daft numpty! We always take the number 7, that is the only bus that goes this way🤣
Bonus points for someone who tells me what numpty means in the comments!
All aboard we go.
Weird fact, during Covid the bus company stopped you from buying return tickets, only single journey tickets or a day ticket. I never did work out what the fluff that was about!
The journey is only along the coast, so expect to see the sea.
If you deviate from seeing the sea, you have gotten on the wrong bus 🤣
These farm buildings for me have a most wonderful view.
Do you like that view?
This is my favourite painting view.
I think this would be the most gorgeous simple view for a painting.
Now we zip along past their farm and fields of crops, I feel that I am playing dcrops!
Okay now we are getting closer to our destination, I can smell the sea air.
I call this the welcoming island and almost time to get off the bus.
I get withdrawal symptoms if I am too far from the sea.
The railway does follow the coast, but it is quicker for me to take the bus to where I am going. maybe next time I will show you a Scottish train journey!
Do you think that 40 speed sign is for the trains or the cars and buses?
Time to get off the bus.
Now we are in the Royal Burgh Of Burntisland
Do you see the bus in the window 🪟 and me too 🤣
Looking down the High Street
One of the iconic sysmbols of the UK is the red telephone box we call them.
This one is beside the library.
One thing about Burntisland is the amount of floral displays in the town.
Here a flower, there a flower, everywhere a flower.
I have to visit the chemist or pharmacy you might call them, because my doctor is still in that town where I used to live.
So before I collect my meds I shall leave you with a bonnie flower or two.
And as usual, whenever I see flowers I think of and #alwaysaflower
I love to walk wherever possible and this wee stroll is also a post for #WednesdayWalk by
