Tag team!

I've been looking forward to this moment, ever since Ted the pup arrived.  Tilly and her little sidekick had their first race around on the beach together today.  They brought huge smiles to our faces as they tore around the huge empty beach - joy unconfined! 

Slightly blurred photos, but they were going at a real lick!

  1. What a happy set of photos! I love to see two or more dogs bounding around, thoroughly enjoying life and each other's company - especially when they have an empty beach to themselves.
    I lost my lovely boy this week, so this brings back poignant memories of our countless beach walks together.

    1. Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear about losing your boy. These dogs are family and their loss is so acute. Tilly is nine now, and Ted is keeping her on her toes! It was great to see them roaring around. I hope that in time you can enjoy that sight again! Best wishes. A

    2. Thank you; he has left a huge void and a heavy silence here. The hurt is a physical pain, and I miss him so much. But hard as it is to lose them, I can't bear to think of an empty and quiet house for ever, so maybe one day, another dog will share my walks again. Lots of love to give and receive . . .

    3. When the time is right for you there will be a four legged friend out there, ready to share your life with you, because that's what they do! Don't leave it too long! Your dear old boy will understand and be urging you on to give a youngster the opportunity to throw him/herself around the beach, and bring fresh joy into your home again. A

  2. Lovely to see them both 'cutting loose' on the sand. Happy days being by water and with dogs...:))) xx

    1. Yes, Ted certainly loves the beach! Had a little paddle in the sea at North Berwick yesterday! He has added a very happy dimension to our household! 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!

Colonsay postcards - on arrival

The first thing I do, once we have unpacked our car, which has been groaning with all the stuff we need for a week's stay in the holiday cottage, is head for the outer gardens of Colonsay House. It is a place of wonder for me! I particularly love the leaves of the giant rhododendrons. There are many different varieties, all planted in the early 1930s. The outer gardens are generally overgrown, having had little tending over the decades. That makes them even more magical! The old woodmill falls apart a little more every year, but that's fine by me because I love corrugated iron and especially if it's rusted! And of course the bees. Colonsay's beekeeper, Andrew Abrahams, has one of his apiaries on the edge of the pine wood. So lovely - the hum of busy bees and the heady smell of the pines. We are here - finally! Delayed by four months by the wretched virus, but now I am on holiday! Hooray!

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!
