We arrived at Pittenweem around 7pm after several distractions along the way. We spent some time at Lindifarne but sadly couldn't wait long enough for the tide to roll out so we could drive to the island and check out the castle.
Actually finding Puffin's Neuk proved to be a challenge - I had forgotten to print out the directions - but wasn't worried - shouldn't be hard it's a tiny village - WRONG. ASked for directions - no one had heard of it - sent us to Puffins Cottage - WRONG - back to the pub where a lovely young fella called Ryan let me use his internet to get the website up and check for instructions - recognised the cottage and offered to tale us - well we found the complex with Ryans help - but still no name on the flats - tried every door with the key until we got one door open - threw in the luggage and returned young Ryan to the Anchor Arms and his mum Francis. Turned out to be a blessing Francis was a fabulous cook and the meals at teh pub were FANTASTIC a real find. The view from the cottage window was everything Anne adverstised.
I set about doing some laundry - emptied teh suitcases and washed everything we weren't actually wearing - the dryer didn't work - or rather I couldn't get it to work - hence the jeans hanging on the Abby Wall Road fence - I ironed most of the other clothes dry.
