A bracing walk

At lunchtime today, the dogs and I had a bracing walk back along the coastline from the gates to Gosford House to our home.  A bitterly cold wind was tempered by some sunshine, and the wind chill did not deter one or two kite surfers.
By sunset, afternoon clouds had blown away and in a clear blue sky Venus, the evening star, appeared with the crescent moon.

    1. That's exactly what the wind was doing! Whipping! It's been doing it for weeks on end now! Really wearisome, but at least it is not flooding or wild fire, so we are blessed. Sat in some sunshine today - with the wind whipping round! xx

    1. Thank you Kris. That is a favourite walk of mine and the two dogs enjoy it too. I love seeing Edinburgh and the distinctive outline of Arthur's Seat in the distance to the west. It always reminds me how lucky we are in East Lothian to have the best of all worlds! Coastline, countryside, the Lammermuir Hills and Edinburgh's city life just a few miles away! See you tomorrow INAVOM! A

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.
