It would seem that maybe summer is on its way. A point in this direction is always the amount of walkers and cyclists who drop by to The West Wemyss Walk Inn. On the cold, wet and storm-lashed days of what has seemed like a very long winter, sometimes even these hardy souls are few and far between. But as the sun comes out, they do too - arriving thirsty and hungry, and appreciative of both our very nice food and very nice welcome.
Local fisherman Ian has just dropped by. I'm keen to shout hello to the warmer sunnier days by holding a celebratory seafood and shellfish evening in the bistro sometime over the next month. Not to be, according to Ian - the extremely sub zero month of March has meant that langoustines and crabs haven't been landed and his creels remain tied to the harbour wall, most likely until the end of the month. Oh well. Do you remember Easter last year - when we had a fortnight of sun and everybody was hopeful that the summer was going to be a good one? Ian was less optimistic, I remember : 'that was our summer,' he said. And he was right. I was too scared to ask him for a forecast today. Suffice to say that a little sun dance is being planned. Just in case.

Wonderful to see cousin Ian! My Mum grew up in West Wemyss and I remember going there when I was 16. Will have to look up the restaurant in 2015 when we hope to return again.
