Let's go fly a kite!

We have had a really beautiful day today, sunshine, some wind but we are getting used to that, blue sky and, bonus, the washing dried in double-quick time.  By comparison the weather reports from the south coast, particularly Dorset, are dire.  Wild seas and the beaches are dangerous places to be.  

This is not gloating or anything but North Berwick's east beach today was lovely.  Bass Rock sat and basked in the January sunshine.  There were a few dog walkers on the beach and a mum with her two little girls.  Their bright pink and red coats reflected in the wet sand and they were running around squealing with delight as their kite flitted back and forth in the sky.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
