Coming up next!





It must be nearly May-time!  Look what's about to burst into bloom.  We leave for Australia this weekend so I am going to miss the May blossom this year, which is a bit of a blow!  The hedgerows always look so wonderful dressed in blowsy white and I love the hawthorn's almondy smell as Tilly and I walk 'round the block' as we call it!  We have just had a wander down the track and along the lanes which bring us back around to the house again.  It will probably be the last chance Tilly and I will have to do that before we set off, although I hope we can get to the beach too before we leave.  I am really going to miss Tilly whilst we are away.






I love this time of year - the colours in the countryside are really amazing.  This was a field of cabbages until a few weeks ago.  Living in East Lothian is a bit like being in a giant allotment - the fields are full of different vegetables!  I will find out what has been planted in this field when we get home at the end of June, no doubt something will be sprouting again by then!

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.  

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
