Scottish High Street Staples!

Hello Hello Hivers, Hivians and any other wonderful being who has stumbled onto this!

I am back with another wee stroll in the summer sunshine rainy weather here in the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland, come let's walk the now.

This was actually on Tuesday afternoon and is a wee walk into town!

The sun had fluffed off and its place was rain and thunderstorms, however I had to get some messages in town, so away I went.

Staples of the High St ~ Booths The Chemist

I think almost every High St in the UK had a Boots the Chemist. Now they are in retail parks and malls but we still have one on the High Street and I had a prescription to drop off.

Another Scottish High St Staple ~ TSB

Trustees Saving Bank or the TSB used to be everywhere up here, but they like many bank branches are being closed left right and centre. We still have one and yes I have an account there.

Not quite the old fashioned cobblestones but I like them, way better than boring tarmac!

What will the weather do ... The birds are up, so am pretty sure no more thunderstorms!

Baynes on the left is a great wee bakers, and I must admit I would rather go there than to the big chain that is Greggs lol! Give me small and local any day of the week!

One of the Wemyss cats, that reminds me I still need to visit them all!

Time to head home, this used to be a shopping centre, but like so many, it got pulled down. Now is used as a carpark ...

There is something magical about church spires. There are two churches here, can you spot the second one?

The seagulls of course find any excuse to flex their wings and be the kings of the castle!

There she is , the Auld Kirk in the background.

Mrs T and I have been talking about going to church as found out three of the local churches are amalgamating. So many things are lost and I am believer of the saying ... use it or lose it...

They are a vital part of the community, so I think we shall do our bit.

One thing that is not in decline ....

Is the fluffing seagulls

And flowers on the way home. I am not editing these pictures, so they are not really doing the colours justice....

I mean this big blue flower was braw!

Blue Beauty

And there we have it.

Anyway, have a good one.
