And breathe .....

..... which is exactly what I did this afternoon, walking alongside the rocky beach at Aberlady.  It takes less than ten minutes to drive to Aberlady, and then the dogs and I walked to the edge of the village and the shoreline.  The sun was shining, a coolish wind blowing and the waves broke on to rocks, sand and pebbles.  The song of larks tumbled down from the sky and sea pinks and birdsfoot trefoil brought colour to the grass along the top of the beach.  It was a blissful walk.  Counting my blessings.

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.
