Garden notes on Easter Sunday

Lots of colour in the garden now.  Monty (or Montague as I know him, from days of old) Don has his jewel garden.  Well, I have mine!  It's only tiny but has amethysts, rubies, amber and citrines, creamy opals, pink sapphires, emeralds and jet.  The Easter weather has been beautiful so far and we have been enjoying the garden in the sunshine at last. Today I am going to finish planting up my pots, all ready for forthcoming summer days!

At the moment in the inner garden :

    Beautiful photos and what a large selection of blooming plants already. Some of them, I've never seen before.
    Monty is my hero over here. We have no American gardening shows like that and it is such a treat to watch it every week on Britbox. I found him on YouTube a few years ago and have been addicted to his program ever since. I learn so much from him.

      Gardener's World is a great programme! Monty does it all so well and his garden looks gorgeous! His older brothers are old friends of mine! I can still see him as a fresh faced 12 or 13 year old! That WAS a long time ago!

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
