A perfect winter walk

We enjoyed a perfect winter morning today. After scraping the frosty fern patterns left by Jack Frost off the car windows, we drove to Gosford House to walk through the grounds again. It is a peaceful place which never fails to disappoint. Today was no exception. We saw lots of squirrels scurrying around in the leaf litter and flying up tree trunks, three young deer accompanied us for a while through the woods, the winter sunlight shone through the grasses and trees, and the patterns in the iced-over lakes were unique and ornate.

And finally, vacant premises high in the treetops!

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.
