The phone box in Brunton North Fife is likely to be away soon as British Telecom prune their remit of public service. A pity, Brunton itself lies within a bowl surrounded by hills with little cell phone connectivity, should anything occur the opportunity to contact the emergency services will be less. Few people now carry flags where they might climb the nearest hill and semaphore to get assistance. Only the really on the ball carry a BT phone card.
Anyway, hugging the box is Lonicera Nitida, behind, Holly tree, Bird Cherry and Beech trees. Alongside and dwarfing it a Gunnera plant but not seen is the wee burn, just a few hundred metres from the spring that starts this tributary of the Motray Water that meanders around north fife, runs south east to Guardbridge and spills over a weir into the Eden Estuary. Amazingly, in spite of agricultural chemicals fish can be found in Brunton.

Sambucus Nigra North Fife
Sambucus Nigra here interlaced with Clematis Alba, backed by variegated privet and overhung by bird cherry by the wayside near Brunton North Fife. I'm a wee bit confused here because the leaves also are dark coloured and not green as in the previous post. Wikipedia and Google show green leaved images as Nigra, unless of course it refers to the fruit only, anyway a site to enjoy.

Wild Roses North Fife
These wild roses can be found all over north fife in hedgerows, roadsides and on uncultivated land, they flower for about a two week period at this time of the year. I always enjoy to see them as they arrive just as the Broom and Gorse are finishing.
This is an example of the white rose.
There is a darker red as well but this is the most abundant kind. In the autumn of course all of these flowers turn into rose-hips from which we make rose-hip syrup, very high in vitamin C and really worth the trouble to make.
This wild flower identification guide was first published in 1981 and is still widely accepted as the best of its kind for its combination of meticulous illustrations and the use of keys to aid recognition. For this new edition, the Latin names have been revised in accordance with the current classification system. It is now published as the ideal book for the serious student of British and north-west European wild plants, providing a bridge between picture identification guides and the non-illustrated academic floras. The Wild Flower Key (Revised Edition) - How to identify wild plants, trees and shrubs in Britain and Ireland .

Ferns North Fife
Essential reading for both the amateur gardener and professional botanist, this is a definitive and comprehensive guide to all the native and naturalized grasses, sedges, rushes and ferns to be found in the British Isles, and all those that are frequently found in north-western Europe. Over 420 species are described and over 350 are illustrated in full colour plates of exceptional beauty and accuracy. Following the general nomenclature and classification, the author describes each species in detail, stressing the features most important for accurate identification. There is also an invaluable illustrated glossary of technical terms and plant structures. Colour Identification Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns of the British Isles and North Western Europe .
Along many roadsides in north fife one can see a variety of ferns along with other interesting plant forms. If I like you wished to identify this one then the purchase of the book makes sense.

Elderberry Flowers North Fife. The Elderberry tree is a very productive shrub medicinally and for nutrition/enjoyment generally.
We favour very much its produce and have welcomed the natural and spontaneous arrivals to our garden. A much loved recipe of ours It makes extraordinary wine both white or black. If you find you have a surplus, invite me round.

Field Peas Ormiston Fife
Field Peas on Ormiston Farm North Fife. Amazingly on approach to take the photo Crows arose aplenty, I didn't realise that they feasted on peas, the few wood-pigeon in shot I can understand but "crows". Anyway, the peas are machine harvested, podded and frozen on the field to secure us with very fresh quality pulses.

Residential development site with planning permission for two detatched houses. Access is by bridge over a fish inhabited tributary of the River Eden and with design imagination from the road to the rear of the plot.

Tiriodh Ceilidh Band
Tiriodh Ceilidh Band from Windygates Fife. Performing at the Falkland Annual Music Festival in the community hall. I enjoyed the performance very much. The Waltzes I (now I'm in my dotage) would have preferred a slower and or mixed tempo to dance to.
'Tiriodh' are an energetic young ceilidh band based in Fife, Scotland. They provide lively dance music for ceilidhs and other functions where the atmosphere of a live band highlights the occasion.
They are primarily a duo comprising of Accordion with Midi bass, and Scottish Smallpipes, but can also provide Drums and African Percussion.
They play for all the standard ceilidh dances and they can also perform traditional music in a concert setting if required.
They have performed throughout Scotland and have twice been invited to play at the "Festival de la Saint Loup" in Brittany, France.
