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!

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.
