Aye, the nights are fair drawing in

Hello Hello Hivians

It is 5.22am as I start to write this post. It is the sixth of november and the morning after remember remember the 5th of November which of course in the UK is Guy Fawkes night.

This is where we celebrate failure it feels like where we celebrate / remember the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and fellow Catholic conspirators attempted to blow up Parliament and assassinate James I of England.

The affront of those pesky catholics really!

There we go terrorism in the name of religion 400 years ago some things never change!

I digress, it is now 5.30am and it is pitch black outside.

Rewind 12 hours and let's go!

We are in the Kingdom of Fife on the East coast of Scotland in the Northern Hemisphere.

This walk is from last week.

The photos are taken by that silohuette you see over two days.

Train 🚆 🚂

We walk close to a train track which is pretty busy but I never seem to catch trains going a bridge for example this one!

Yeah I do have summer shots of a train over the bridge.

As it is opposite one of the entrances to the park which does have a bench, so you can sit in the sun and take that picture.

The sun ah yes vitamin D something we lack in the winter.

This picture coming up shows you the difference a day makes at this time of year!

Our clocks went back a couple of weeks ago. It is a bizarre concept for some people to grasp.

I know when Iived on the equator in Africa, it got light and it got dark at the same time every day.

That took some getting used to!

Here in the summer it is often light in the north of Scotland, and conversely in the height of winter it is dark most of the day.

Aye, the nights are fair drawing in

This is a common phrase in the UK, in Scotland we could replace nights with nichts!

The nights are fair drawing in is a an idiom here in the UK that means it's getting dark earlier in the evening as autumn or winter approaches.

And yes we are in autumn or falls as the fallen leaves indicate.

This walk is something I do Monday- Thursday and I leave the house at 4.55pm to go meet Mrs T at the busstop on her way home from work.

Often in the summer I walk there and we come back via the park, and it often depends on the weather as to whether do that now.

This was another example of the darker daylight between two different days as this is the same bungalow and was actually listed for sale a couple of weeks.

Mrs T is wanting to go look. Me not so much!

This roundabout is a bit of a boundary as to the left is towards town and to the right is heading to the countryside and this is like a city centre boundary!

I let these two pups go past before I took their pic. Both are greyhounds and from a rescue centre. The one on the left is younger and can be a bit scared if you look him in the eye. So today I had a chat with their owner but kept the phone camera away from him.

Terminus

We don't really say that anymore but I remember as kid we would say bus terminus for the station!

Talking of houses this one is for sale too.

However it was dismissed for being too much money for too little house. I mean where would my staff sleep!

I like it though as it is right beside the bus stop and a mini supermarket, although their prices are more expensive than the main supermarkets. I also think this is a fluffing con.

Oops there is the bus.

Then the walk back home retracing my steps.

I was told to stop and take this picture of the gate lodge through the trees. It had recently been renovated.

This is it and it is now being used as a children's nursery which is a great thing that it is actually being used!

I was also testing out my new Pixel 9 Pro XL phone as it has a night setting.

It does make things brighter without flashing I have to give it that!

You can also tell autumn is well underway as the trees are losing their clothes and starting to look naked!

There are three entrances to the park that we pass going this way home.

This was the entrance where I can sit and wait enjoy the sun and take train shots over the bridge.

The bridge is on an S curve and some eejits fly round it!

Have you seen Day Of The Jackal, I remember reading the book fluffing years ago!

We are just about home now.

It looks like the local team Raith Rovers are playing at home tonight in a couple of hours!

So all that was left for me to cook dinner!

A tasty cheeseburger as on #wednesdaysweeatmeat!

This is also a post to participate in the #wednesdaywalk initiative from the wonderful @tattoodjay

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
