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!

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...

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.
