Worth the wait

Just over the last week I have had a real sense that winter has finally past.  This feeling has been a long time coming as winter 2016/17 seems to have been particularly long and dark. 

 The first indicator is that it is light by 6.30 in the morning, and so it is much easier to get up to take the dogs out.  No more blundering around in the pitch black.  

 Also, apart from some extremely strong winds, we have had a fair bit of sunshine over the last week, and these photos show what I have been waiting for!  Hooray!

    Yes, seeing Spring springing warms the soul, doesn't it? We've had so much rain in recent weeks that the occasional dry day with a sniff of sunshine fills me with hope that there are better days to come. Enough rain now - sunshine urgently needed, please.

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!

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, ...
