Happy Saturday - quick paddle at Burntisland beach before heading along for today’s turnaround. You’ll find RNLI lifeguards on quite a few of our beaches for the summer. Remember, swim between the flags ! Unless you have paws 🐾🐾🐾
Leia’s first trip to the Black Rocks !
Spring garden The Nethergate
Leia had her first outing to Lochore this morning ….. we almost had the place to ourselves !
No dogs for a change ??! Strange colour cast from the template though ….
How’s it October already ?? Well that may mean colder weather or it may still be blue skies and empty beaches to play on 🙂
October 1st is also the start of the new licensing regulations in Scotland - all short term accommodation providers (snappy title) must be licensed or have a licence application in with their relevant local authority.
What does that mean for us ? Well we have applied and have a temp number (you’ll find it on our info as well as on our website) and I have a lot of info that I need to laminate and get into the welcome folder. None of it was new and most of it you won’t want to read. EPC numbers anyone ?? We already had more than sufficient insurance and all our appliances were in good order; you now know that I scrambled through the attic to take the water temperature of the cold water tank that is only used for filling the toilets…..
What does it mean for you ?
Well if you are booking a holiday in Scotland the onus is really on you to check if the property is licenced. Not all councils are issuing temp numbers; there are now huge backlogs and no central database to check. As owners we are obliged to show our licence number anywhere we advertise (yes even Airbnb have a section for the numbers)
There is a chance that a licence will not be granted or in some cases planning permission won’t be given and folk will not be allowed to operate….
So best ask the question and have holiday insurance.
Meanwhile my laminator has died…..🤦🏻♀️
Bit breezy this morning !!
With my YELLOW boots that I won from Bel.etta 💛 #matchymatchy

Can you spot yourself ??

Just back from an evening beach walk with Suki - Burntisland beach was filled with bird song and lapping waves ! …. We think it might have been oystercatchers as they were lined up at the waters edge. Obviously not singing much when I tried to record it but did catch a bit …. A larger wave made them take flight but they swooped around us for a while - then Suki had an empty beach to run on 🐾🐾🐾
Self -exercising mutt !!!
