By the time I have walked about four miles, my toes are screaming at me - it's the arthritis, you see. One of the joys of being that little bit older than I was. However, for a long time, I have been keen to walk along the beaches, and follow the coastal path, between Gullane and North Berwick. So, having worked out the tide times, I decided today was the day, and off we went. Below is our starting point, the bay at Gullane. It's a lovely beach, very popular with dog walkers. This is looking east, the direction Tilly and I were going to take. Looking back, up the Forth, the unmistakable bulk of Arthur's Seat, and Edinburgh's skyline, just clear enough to see.

What a lovely Monday flower arrangement. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally! xxx
DeleteWhat a great idea this is and what a lovely result - I am so impressed with your creativuty today, Amanda

ReplyDeleteI am sure there will be plenty of material out there Alison! You are right, the silver birch hearts are useful for other times, and especially good at Christmas with holly etc stuck into the moss wadding! A
DeleteJust the ticket for Valentine's week, and the whole is beautifully pictured against the textured cloth too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the gentle pink of the cherry blossom. It is just so fragile and I am very glad I picked it before Ciara rocked up! A
DeleteIt's an utterly charming composition, Amanda. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kris! It was a fun thing to do - might even repeat the exercise on another Monday in the future! Loads of silver birch trees nearby. Have a Happy Valentine's Day too! A
DeleteWhat a lovely idea, it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Valentine's Day is a great excuse to be pretty in pink! A
