A vase on Monday - little sweeties

It's been a pretty bleak weekend, for a number of reasons, so I have found the pretty colours of a few primrose plants in the garden particularly cheering.  There are a couple of frilly scented geranium leaves, left over from last summer, in my little old Devon violet vase as well.  I thought the painted strip of collage worked quite well with last week's vase, so here it features again!

    Oh your little Devon violet vase is perfect for these little beauties in their candy colours - sweeties indeed!

    Have just discovered your blog - lovely to see a bit of southern Scotland. I moved from Edinburgh last year (after 33 years) back up to Speyside where I grew up. Didn't realise how much I would miss the landscapes down there! These are gorgeous flowers. So heartening to see a bit of spring colour.

      Welcome to the running wave Linda! And thank you for your message. I will visit you on Instagram where I would love to post my photos but can't work out how to transfer them from iPhoto to Instagram on my laptop! I am not sure it is possible! My granddaughter reliably informs me that I can do it all on my phone, but that's not where my photos are - so it hasn't happened yet! A

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
