The choice local pottery to cushions and handmade cards, all tastefully displayed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

<span class="s1">I love Funky Scottish's Cafe. Hands down the best cakes in the East Neuk. I've been told the cakes are made by a baker in Cupar and they are excellent. The carrot cake is fabulous and there are also usually some gluten free or dairy free options as well. There are also sandwiches and soup. The Illy coffee is a bonus and the prices are cheap compared to other local venues. The service is consistently of a high standard and always a smile to go with your food! Lovely items by the proprietor/artist and on a sunny day the best place to sit outside and watch the life of Pittenweem stream by! - Reviewer, Trip Advisor</span><br />

Just recently, while curled up on the sofa and reading by candle light, I discovered the craze for a Danish lifestyle concept called <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/home-design/a39867/how-to-hygge/">"hygge"</a>. Apparently, this relaxed and comforting way of life is taking Britain by storm this winter! Yet, many of our extended Scottish clan already do everything mentioned on the helpful 'how to' list provided by <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/home-design/a39867/how-to-hygge/">Country Living</a>. It's said there's no literal translation but here in Scotland, I think we'd call it...<b>couthie. </b></div>

<div class="p1">
They don't call this time of year the 'off' or 'low' season' for nothing. Between January and Easter, <b>popular seaside villages become quiet and brooding.</b> The tourist crowds have disappeared, the weather is unpredictable and some people find it all a little depressing. Others know <b>how to make the most of this special time</b>, especially here in Pittenweem....</div>
<div class="p1">
<b></b></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p2">
<b>Cafe Culture </b></div>
<div class="p2">
There's a unique delight in <b>stepping out of the biting cold, into the warmth of a welcoming cafe</b> and inhaling the aroma of coffee, soups and freshly baked cakes. Funky Scottish is open throughout the winter, so make a date for morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea! If you're unsure of our hours during this quieter season, just give us a call on 01333 312 567 to double check.</div>

Alas, none of us can spend all day, every day in cute coastal cafes! So, get into the kitchen at home too. Now is the time to really <b>nourish yourself and your loved ones</b> with soups for the soul, beautiful bakes and warming one-pots.

<b>Creative Retreats</b></div>
<div class="p2">
Ahead of a bustling 'high' season and The Pittenweem Arts Festival, our resident artist - Karen Edward - uses this <b>precious, quieter time</b> to work on commissions and brand new projects. Whether or not you consider yourself to be 'artistic'', there's no better opportunity to u<b>ncover your own unique creativity.</b> Turn old photos into a beautiful framed collage for your wall. Learn a new, exotic language. Write a short story or just send a heart-felt letter to a long-distance loved one. xo PS. We have a lovely collection of note cards in our cafe-gallery-boutique. </div>

Since Victorian times, the health benefits of <b>tangy, coastal air </b>have been well documented and nowadays science tells us there is indeed <b>a healing magic in the seaside ozone</b>!

If you're out and about, never miss an opportunity to<b> 'warm the cockles'</b> with a bag of chips, perfectly seasoned with salt and vinegar, perhaps accompanied by freshly battered fish...and enjoyed overlooking<b> local boats tied up in their moorings</b>. Remember, there's no better time to visit the award-winning Anstruther Fish Bar....without the massive queues! </div>

<div class="p2">
Whether you're a visitor or year-round resident, it's easy to become caught up in the busy-ness of our own lives. So, the slower pace of the low season offers a special opportunity to get to know local people a little better. Take the time to shop locally, visit your nearest pub or cafe, say hello on the high street or offer your neighbour a helping hand. Who knows, you may forge unexpected friendships to be enjoyed for many seasons to come...<br />

According to one version of Halloween history, in the olden days people carved out turnips and pumpkins as a way to light a path for lost souls. Well, whether or not that's your intention, we can just as easily cast the customary halloween glow with <b>lots of pretty candles!</b> Set them in your window and in darkened corners of your room to create<b> a comforting, atmospheric space.</b> It beats clearing up the mess of post pumpkin creativity! We have some gorgeous candles in the<a href="http://www.funkyscottish.com/"> Funky Scottish</a> boutique on the high street in Pittenweem...</div>

The ancient celtic origins of Halloween - <b>Samhain</b> - was deeply rooted in the celebration of nature. The occasion marked the turn of the season from summer to winter and the beginning of a new celtic year. So, this is a rejuvenating time to get out there and connect with the simple pleasures of fresh air and sunlight. As an <a href="http://www.funkyscottish.com/">artist</a>, I love living by the sea where,<b> as if by magic,</b> the unique play of light and colour on the water always sparks the imagination...</div>
