Yet another grey day

Honestly, we are not used to all this grey, wet weather.  We pride ourselves on the amount of sunshine we have in East Lothian, but at the moment it's just not happening!  So, with two dogs sitting around, almost comatose with boredom, Mr Gaucho and I braved the weather this morning, and headed for the beach at Belhaven.

The North Sea is not a pretty sight in the depths of winter!  Today, the waves were brown from a churned up sea.  The beach was a mess with flotsam and jetsam strewn the length of the shoreline, and, in places, it has been completely re-profiled by the heavy seas of the past few weeks.
We arrived home, a bedraggled quartet, to find this little beauty peeping out from underneath a fresh green leaf.  So, out with the old - a desiccated Christmas tree, dead holly and all that stuff, and in with the new, the first primrose.  Hooray!

  1. I can just imagine the wind whipping up and causing your face to feel rather frozen in that kind of weather. Looks amazing and I love the huge wave...brilliant photograph.
    What a sweet little primrose (wild) or is it a primula?
    The weather has been unseasonably warm in the UK.

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.  

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!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
