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!

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, ...
