A bracing walk

At lunchtime today, the dogs and I had a bracing walk back along the coastline from the gates to Gosford House to our home.  A bitterly cold wind was tempered by some sunshine, and the wind chill did not deter one or two kite surfers.
By sunset, afternoon clouds had blown away and in a clear blue sky Venus, the evening star, appeared with the crescent moon.

      That's exactly what the wind was doing! Whipping! It's been doing it for weeks on end now! Really wearisome, but at least it is not flooding or wild fire, so we are blessed. Sat in some sunshine today - with the wind whipping round! xx

      Thank you Kris. That is a favourite walk of mine and the two dogs enjoy it too. I love seeing Edinburgh and the distinctive outline of Arthur's Seat in the distance to the west. It always reminds me how lucky we are in East Lothian to have the best of all worlds! Coastline, countryside, the Lammermuir Hills and Edinburgh's city life just a few miles away! See you tomorrow INAVOM! 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!

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, ...
