Pittenweem

Yesterday, it was the opening of Pittenweem art festival. There are more than 100 artists exhibiting their works. Most of them are local artists. We spent a couple of hours wandering in the streets, houses and garages of this beautiful coastal village. We've seen loads of amazing pieces of art and talk to a few artists (one of them even laugh when we told him we were living in Dundee....). In the evening there were a Ceilidh, a torchlight procession and fireworks. We didn't stay, we were quite tired having done quite a lot all day: we stopped by St Andrews Farmers market in the morning then we had an early lunch on the beach in Elie, followed by a 9 holes (Stephane only, I gave up golfing a few years ago).Weather wise, we were lucky! it was very thundery in the afternoon but we only had a few drops.
