For my stalwart follower!

This one's for you Sandy Shoes!  Thank you for your lovely messages and support - always very much appreciated!  

 We do have grey skies too!  If it's clear and grey, the colours are more intense, which I always enjoy.
But the last few days have been murky and drear, classically dreich weather!  The light has been too poor for decent photos, however I did see a group of four hares yesterday morning.  The two hares below had a couple of boxing matches, but I was so busy trying to hold on to Tilly's lead so that she wouldn't make a beeline for these magical creatures, I didn't manage to take any photos of their spar!

    Thank you! It's always a pleasure to drop in on your world, and I love the close up of the hares. Today we've been basking in sunshine but with a slightly worried expression as there is a very distinct haze which is apparently smog! I thought I left that all behind in London but bizarrely we are enveloped in it now. It's strange how being surrounded by green fields and countryside can lull you into a false sense of security, I know we should probably stay indoors but it's so welcome to see the sun that I can't resist sitting out in the garden for the first time this year. Have a great week! Antonia x

    We've had a couple of hazy starts, yesterday and today, but it's cleared away, so I am thinking that it is not the smog they are talking about! Hope not anyway! It's so lovely to feel the warmth of the sun - I think that spring might just be here! A x

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, ...

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...
