Garden notes - during Wimbledon!

The garden marches on into July.
My mother grew regale lilies in big old terracotta pots and I always loved them.  I have wanted to grow them all my adult life and FINALLY I bought some bulbs and here they are - looking regal, and smelling delicious.  Wafts of scent blowing around the garden.

I keep taking photos because in the depths of winter they will serve as a happy reminder of a pretty summer! Love to all. A xx

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, ...
