Edinburgh Marathon

It's a weekend for fit and energetic people!  Marathon runners.  They have my admiration in bucketloads, especially those turning out for the big event being held in Manchester this weekend.  

The route for the Edinburgh Marathon passes by close to here.  In fact, as I type, the wind is carrying the festive sounds of a steel band up the hill to me in the garden!  The dogs and I walked down to the coast road earlier this morning, but even by then there were some runners who were already on their way back to town!  Hooray for all them!

  1. Great admiration for marathon runners. If you see me running it would be because I'm being chased! Kudos to them. Great photos Mrs RW. xx

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.
