Alberto

Permanent resident of Earlsferry

 

Albert's interesting and very informative web site is called The Hutte where each day he writes his diary and adds his pictures of the day.

Many moons ago Alberto and Maggie fell in love with each other, married and have lived happily ever after in Ivy Cottage, Earlsferry.

18th August 2009.  It is with great sadness that I pass on the news from Albert's Hutte web site that during last night Maggie died suddenly. I remember the day when Maggie was born.

Do visit The Hutte and while you're there be sure to enter Alberto's music page and if you don't play any other piece do listen to the red haired lady as she sings "Maggie".

1st November 2009. In memory of Maggie, Albert is having a bench seat made for passersby to rest while they contemplate the grandeur of the scene before them; the Earlsferry and the Elie beaches, the Elie Harbour, the Lighthouse, the Lady's Tower, the May Island, the Bass Rock and the southern shoreline of the Firth of Forth. Albert will place the bench seat at Chapel Green.

This is one happy Earlsferry man. Weather permitting Alberto and his friend Jems spend what time they can feeling the kick of the helm as they sail the waters of the Firth of Forth.  Way to go Alberto.
