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.

DeleteI LOVE the Crocus. Your vases are very interesting and well-suited to the diverse collection of blooms. I'm glad to see that Spring has pulled into the station in your part of the world!
