Sunday walk

Did someone mention a walk?
Somebody else had an outing in mind, riding up to the Lord Colonsay monument on the hill above Scalasaig.  There is a magnificent view from there, across to the mainland and the islands of Jura and Islay.
The dogs and I walked up a track, over a hill until the path petered out, and then followed sheep tracks down a small beach.  It wasn't Colonsay's most beautiful beach but it had a wonderful view across to Jura, which had some weak sunshine atmospherically shining through the clouds.  
After our walk Mr Gaucho and I sat in the hotel garden to enjoy a Sunday lunchtime drink (local Colonsay gin - very good indeed!).

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.
