Skyscapes

Just before eleven o'clock last night, looking across the Firth of Forth to Fife the sky looked like this
and nine hours later, just before breakfast, the sun has come back from Australia and is shining brightly on us today!  A real summer's day.

    1. Lovely to hear from you Antonia ! I am sure you and your family will be enjoying this lovely spell of weather on your beautiful Cornish beaches! They seem a long way from here on Scotland's east coast, but we have been sharing the temperatures! A rare treat! My grandchildren have broken up for the summer holidays now, but imagine yours have another two or three weeks to go? Have a lovely holiday time when it comes! A x

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.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
