With Dr Anne acting as guide, Grey Granite and Rufus enjoyed a stimulating day exploring largely new territory and visiting some exceptionally interesting historical treasures. The tastes of both Rufus and Grey Granite were catered for.
 |
| The day began at East Neuk where Dr Anne's special garden has an enviable display of roses |
 |
| The first port of call was Sandend where Rufus enjoyed an exciting walk over the bents and back along the beautiful beach. Grey Granite has not been to Sandend for many years and has never ventured to the picturesque west end of the village |
 |
| This was the first time Rufus has visited Sandend, he particularly enjoyed playing on the sand and crossing the the Scattery Burn which flows down the beach. |
 |
| Extraordinary strata in the rocks on the way to the harbour |

Fishing from the end of the harbour, a traditional holiday occupation. Alas although there were several craft in the water we saw no signs of working fishing boats. Grey Granite has read that all the fish processed at the small factory opposite the car park comes from Aberdeen.
After watching the world go by from a seat on the harbour Grey Granite and Dr Anne moved on to the Deskford Garden Galleries and Willow Tearoom where, in a completely unexpected and delightful setting they enjoyed a delicious lunch before exploring the extensive galleries attached to the tearoom. These contain what may only be described as a fascinating cornucopia of vintage clothes, curios, collectibles, plants, cards and paintings.
There next port of call was Kirktown of Deskford
