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!

    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!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

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, ...
