A thin sapphire line

In fact the blue line, the sea, is so far away you can hardly see it! This is the beach we have just visited in Northumberland, just north of Lindisfarne, Holy Island. The dogs had a great time, racing around, and Tilly enjoyed her birthday treat.

In the distance, we could see the bulk of Bamburgh Castle, and in between the causeway across to Holy Island. You can just see the poles sticking up out of the sand which mark the Pilgrim route across the sands to the island and a world of history which dates back to 635 AD.

We drove along the A1 on our little jaunt. The road follows the coast and on a clear, early Spring day even the cold North Sea can look amazing.

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.
