They're back!

They left on around 12 September last year, and today ..... they are back!  The swallows swooped in at breakfast time this morning, much to my jubilation, and of course,Ted's delight.  His summer playmates have returned to him.  Welcome back fearless little travellers.  It's so good to see you in our skies again.

    Amazing - I haven't seen any yet in Cornwall! Looks like they bypassed us and headed north x

      Having said that, I think they took one look at our weather, which until today has been just awful (cold, windy, foggy, wet) and wondered why they bothered, and I haven't seen them since! Hopefully they are checking out some nesting sites and we will see them again over the coming days, with ...... hopefully ....... improved weather conditions! A x

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!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
