A vase on Monday, 8 October 2018

The flowers in my vase today, picked on a wet and windy morning, are for my youngest granddaughter, 5 months old, who has come through a life-threatening operation last Friday, and I am just so proud of her.  So far, so good.  She is a force of nature and a superstar!  Hooray for little Miss E.  
The deep dark rose in the photo below, Munstead Wood, is just hanging in there!  It lost a few petals in the picking.  There is one more bud on the bush and then I think that will be it for this year!

      Thank you Antonia! Yes, our wee girlie is a force of nature! Smiling and gurgling on FaceTime this morning! Can't quite believe what her tiny body has been through and she is still sparkling! Amazing, and frankly she is a little miracle! Hope all is well with you and your family down there in Cornwall. A x

    Oh hurrah for Miss E and long may her reign as superstar continue! The colours in your vase look rich and sumptuous - MW is one of my favourite roses and I lije the attitude of the shaggy orange dahlia ps if you leave a link to this post in your comment on mine it is easier for others to find you and pps having been born in Edinburgh many of my childhood experiences were in your neck of the woods although sadly memories are few anf far between 😏

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!

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, a lo

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage
