Red Hill Market

Red Hill Market, once a month in the Mornington Peninsula, and if I was a local I would be making sure I never missed it!  Lots of stalls, heaps of variety, well attended, and last Saturday - wall to wall sunshine.  It was great.

My visit to the market was followed by a very enjoyable afternoon with my cousin and his wife.  They took me to lunch at the top of Arthur's Seat (presumably named after Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat but much higher) and from there we could look across Port Phillip Bay to a misty Melbourne.  You can just see a cluster of high rise buildings in the far distance.

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, ...
