Green shooting stars!

Wild garlic time again!  Hooray!  It's fresh, it's greener than green, and because the leaves are so young they are super strong in flavour!  The pesto I made nearly knocked my socks off so I went a bit easy when adding it to the tagliatelle.  I had no idea what we were going to have for supper tonight, until we went for a walk this afternoon!  A bit of divine intervention there I reckon.

  1. That looks really yummy...perhaps you should take people on foraging walks?
    I had to laugh as I got to the first picture and spent a few moments looking for an animal amongst the leaf litter and green stalks....then decided to press READ MORE....wild garlic. Ha Ha directed at me.

    Supper looks really good! xx

    1. Well to be fair 'look who's back' does sound like a person or living thing! I did deliberate over that for a while. Maybe I will change the heading! It hasn't sat well with me from the start! xx

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!

Early morning light

I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

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, ...
