TillyTiptoes

One of my grandsons used to call my dog Tilly Tiptoes when he was very young!  Leaving herself for 2 months has been a really hard thing to do!  We couldn't explain to her that we would be back, and she is such a loyal little dog. Well, smallish size-wise, big on character and ego!  This weekend she has been rocking around the Roman walls of York with my youngest son, taking absolutely no notice of the 'no dogs allowed' signs apparently. Border Terriers are pretty much a law unto themselves so it doesn't surprise me!  Mr Gaucho read an article about Border Terriers once which said that you never really own a Border Terrier, it's a 50/50 partnership!  I think I can concur with that!  Anyhow, I really miss the little mutt.  Here she is in all her glory!
Tilly in reflective mood
This is the first view you get of our most favourite place to walk.  You walk up one side of the dunes and the beach stretches across in front of you.  It's always magnificent and I always stop to take in the view.  My eldest grandson and I are just sitting here for a few moments before setting off along the beach.  Can't see Tilly anywhere so obviously she is not wasting any more time!
And in the spirit of the running wave -
It was a good walk.  Sleep well Tills.

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.

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, ...
