First afternoon

Further to this morning's post, we had a slightly treacherous, but still enjoyable, walk this afternoon across to a favourite series of beaches at Plaide Mhor, which I have visited every time we have been to Colonsay.  The walking conditions from the airstrip along a very muddy and stony track were not easy, but I made it down on to the beach while Mr Gaucho sat on a rock, with the dogs, and enjoyed the view out to sea.  I can think of worse places to sit and ponder!
 A glimmer of sunshine across the golf course looking back to the interior of Colonsay.
Something tells me that golf is not a very serious pursuit on Colonsay, apart from which I think there are far better ways of passing the time in this lovely place!  And anyway, there is a very good chance that you would never find the golf ball because it is more than likely it will be swallowed up by a rabbit hole.


Here's the prize!  This is what the skiddy, muddy walk was for.  Nothing between you and Newfoundland beyond the end of those beaches.
 I was definitely here!

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...
