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.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment! Spot on! We do have Skype and I look forward to seeing her, and my son, on Sunday morning, probably! Currently the flight tracker says they are heading out over Holland, en route for Melbourne. Many hours of flying ahead of them, but you can't get to the other side of the world in a twinkle - unfortunately!
