Egg

I am not one of those people who go around photographing the food on their plate - at least, not very often.  I have been known to snap the odd snap when I have been lucky enough to be in a fashionable restaurant.  But I couldn't help admiring the colour of the yolk in my boiled egg at breakfast.  The chicken who laid this egg lives on the farm just behind our cottage.  No food miles involved here, and the richest orange yolk I have ever seen!

  1. Cor! I bet that was the tastiest egg you've had in a long while. Our village Farm Shop sells beautiful free range eggs which have deep coloured yolks and brown shells, just like that - they charge £1.30 for half a dozen. But I buy mine straight from the farm where they charge £1.60 for a dozen. No-brainer! Two of those eggs, poached, on buttered toast, seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper makes The Best breakfast!

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.

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!
