Heading west - day two

Having spent an outrageous £6.50 for two cups of coffee in Costa at the motorway services, we continued our journey south and west.  Again, the traffic was light and by lunchtime we reached our destination, in the wooded valleys of mid-Devon.  The sun shone gently in a soft blue sky.  
It great to be here again.  It is very peaceful!  
Today has been a beautiful early Autumn day, with a golden light and some lovely colours emerging in the woods and along the hedgerows.

    Lovely autumnal colours, I think your photography is great and I really enjoy the way you follow the seasons. Sometimes I think Cornwall only has two - cold and wet, or warm and wet! At least up in Scotland you have the distinction of winter, and by the looks of it lots of great blue sky! Antonia x

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!

Coastal walk from Gullane to North Berwick

By the time I have walked about four miles, my toes are screaming at me - it's the arthritis, you see.  One of the joys of being that little bit older than I was.  However, for a long time, I have been keen to walk along the beaches, and follow the coastal path, between Gullane and North Berwick. So, having worked out the tide times, I decided today was the day, and off we went. Below is our starting point, the bay at Gullane.  It's a lovely beach, very popular with dog walkers. This is looking east, the direction Tilly and I were going to take. Looking back, up the Forth, the unmistakable bulk of Arthur's Seat, and Edinburgh's skyline, just clear enough to see. For most of the walk, there is the choice between wandering along a series of beaches, or following a path along the top of each. There's no denying it, at heart I am a shell-seeker.  I have loads of shells at home.  We lived on one of the out islands in the Bahamas for a just over a year, ...
