Mist and murk

After several days of glorious sunshine the weather has taken a bit of a dive over the last couple of days.  The air has turned cold and the wind has picked up, but not enough to blow away the east coast haar yesterday.  The haar is an enveloping mist which blows in off the North Sea.  When the dogs and I left home yesterday for a walk around Athelstaneford, it was sunny in the garden, but by the time we reached our destination the landscape was very murky and grey.

I saw my first hawthorn blossom of the year and despite the restricted views it was a good walk.
To finish off I swapped a P D James book with Helen Dunmore's Birdcage Walk, in the village telephone box!

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.
