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.

Looking forward to more blogs during this year! Health and happiness xx

It's all a bit mad, in early January, but nevertheless a happy reminder that there are good things to come in 2016, however the rest of the world is behaving! What would we do without Mother Nature, nurturing! Have a good 2016, and thank you again for your constant support of the blog - much appreciated. Love A x
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, reading your blog and seeing your beautiful pictures always brightens my day! It also reminds me to slow down and enjoy the stunning scenery we have down here too. We had a day of sun today the first for ages and found a new path through the woods with the kids getting covered in mud and a damp squib of a fire on the beach. It was a lovely way to end the holidays and everything shone, I even spotted my first snowdrops. Have a great week, Antonia x
ReplyDeleteHooray for the snowdrops! Can't wait to see them here in the wood. Every year there seem to be more - just love them! A x
