A September song in my vase on Monday

I have thrown everything I've got in the garden at my vase this week - well, nearly everything! The zinnias are for you, Cathy, to thank you for IAVOM, which we all enjoy preparing and posting, to start a new week in a flower-filled way! Have a good week everyone, and in such bewildering times (and it seems particularly so in the UK and the USA at the moment - with such incomprehensible people 'in charge'), may we all continue to enjoy our gardens and all the positivity and joy that they bring! Hooray!

    So you too have thrown all your garden together, and why not? Your arrangement marks the season's abundance.

      There is certainly an abundance of colour - not necessarily toning that well together, but by this time I am just glad to have pretty things to look at!! A

    The universe needs as much positivity as it can get right now, Amanda, so thanks for adding yours to the mix!

      I do feel that those of us who are so fortunate to be blessed with good things - space, gardens, health, a lovely environment etc - have to embrace it all in order to balance out the rest.

      Thank you Eliza! Our dining table always seems to have pots and flowers encroaching on our dining space!! It's the way I like it! Lovely things to look at! 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
