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.

    Looks so fresh and lovely - I can almost feel the cold wind whipping at my face. Beautiful moon photo.
    Lots of love Sallyxx

      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

    Beautiful scenery and I love the shot of the evening star with the crescent moon!

      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!

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
