Blossom

The dogs and I walked past the damson trees which gave so much fruit last year.  The little trees are covered in blossom, so I am rather excited about that.  Think damson gin, damson jam, damson ice cream, damson cheese, and more!
Further up the hill, sheltered by two belts of conifer trees, there is an orchard (with beehives) and the fruit trees in there are also white with flowers.  So, if the bees are out there doing their thing, there should be a handsome harvest at the end of summer.  Can't wait!
From the top of the hill, the view to the north never fails to please, especially on a beautiful day like today.

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.
