Sunday walk

The dogs and I walked down Bickerton's Walk, near the village of Aberlady, today.  A new path for us and it revealed one or two treats.  Firstly we unexpectedly encountered the remains of a fourteenth century Carmelite friary, Luffness Friary.  Within the ruins of the walls there is a stone tomb with the worn  depiction of an unknown knight.  There are various stories as to whose grave it is, the most likely being it is that of John Bickerton, who held the land at Luffness at the end of the 13th century,

There were a few bluebells, some lovely smelly lilac just coming in to flower, a rather grand water tower in the field called Bickerton's Strip, and best of all, an extremely pretty and delicate deer.

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...

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.
