Belhaven walk

On a murky Friday morning I thought I would remind myself of a glorious walk in the sunshine on Wednesday.  Our walking group enjoyed a five mile walk around Belhaven Bay and its hinterland.  Wonderful views across the Tyne estuary and further inland, we saw a handful of swallows and martens.  Still swooping and zipping through the air.  Our collective response was "What are they doing here?"  By rights they should have been somewhere over Morocco by now.  It was magical to see them, little miracles that they are, but they better get a move on if they want to get to their winter home in good time.

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.
