For my stalwart follower!

This one's for you Sandy Shoes!  Thank you for your lovely messages and support - always very much appreciated!  

We do have grey skies too!  If it's clear and grey, the colours are more intense, which I always enjoy.
But the last few days have been murky and drear, classically dreich weather!  The light has been too poor for decent photos, however I did see a group of four hares yesterday morning.  The two hares below had a couple of boxing matches, but I was so busy trying to hold on to Tilly's lead so that she wouldn't make a beeline for these magical creatures, I didn't manage to take any photos of their spar!

  1. Thank you! It's always a pleasure to drop in on your world, and I love the close up of the hares. Today we've been basking in sunshine but with a slightly worried expression as there is a very distinct haze which is apparently smog! I thought I left that all behind in London but bizarrely we are enveloped in it now. It's strange how being surrounded by green fields and countryside can lull you into a false sense of security, I know we should probably stay indoors but it's so welcome to see the sun that I can't resist sitting out in the garden for the first time this year. Have a great week! Antonia x

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!

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.  

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, ...
