Blown away!

We are buffeted by one storm after another at the moment.  They just keep on coming across the Atlantic and although we are on the east coast, by the time they get to us the winds are still ferocious and exhausting!  But we have been lucky too.  Lovely sunshine over the past few days, so walks have been quite exhilarating!

The wind has been whipping up the Firth of Forth into an endless series of wavelets which stream towards the beaches.  Yesterday we walked around the edge of two golf courses which lie side by side and tight to the coastline.  It was very, very windy but in the sunshine it was a good walk!  There were wonderful views to Edinburgh and across the sea to Fife.
Looking back across to the bay to the headland where we had just been walking, on our way home we saw eight para surfers having a whale of time in the wind!

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.
