Old haunt revisited

The dogs and I walked round a favourite field this afternoon.  It is on the edge of the wood, where we lived for six years.  I could always be fairly sure of seeing hares in the field, and today I was not disappointed.  I saw five.  They were some distance away, but nevertheless, they made my day!

  1. So glad you are re-visiting old ground...and great to see so many hares. Majestic creatures and so well camouflaged. Looks so lush and green.
    We sent to Mansfield last weekend to a 3000 acre property. It was so amazing and I walked dry creek beds and up and down dale. I absolutely felt a sense of freedom Even practised some meditation on a dry creek bed slab of rock. I was also followed along on my walk by a very curious kookaburra. Every time I tried to get a photo, he would fly a bit further on..talk about dangling the carrot. Made me laugh and him too.
    Happy walking to you. Lots of love xx

    1. Your walk sounds great! Delighted you found a route which gave a sense of a real walk and freedom because I know you struggle with the lack of places to wander free, as we have here. Next time - whenever that may be - perhaps we can retrace your steps, and persuade the kookaburra to come along too! A xx

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!
