In proud grandmother mode

My eldest granddaughter is a songbird.  She loves to sing and you can hear her, constantly singing away in her room, and everywhere else in the house!  Over the past weeks she has been rehearsing, with other children from her school, as part of the choir performing in 'Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat', which has just been staged at the Edinburgh Playhouse.  We went to see her last night, in the show's final performance, and her sixth of the week.  It was a great show, with a couple of past X Factor finalists in leading roles, and a good cast of singers and dancers.  
We all felt very proud to see our girl, up there on stage, singing away, knowing how numb her bum was getting, sitting for two hours on those hard steps!

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.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
