Late February walk

At last!  We have blue skies, sunshine, a smidgen of warmth from the sun felt through icy winds, and it is all so very welcome (except for the icy winds).  My default walk, when feeling rather stressed and generally preoccupied with the state of the world and all those things I can do absolutely nothing about, is to walk in the grounds at Gosford House.

Come with me on my walk yesterday afternoon, through woodlands where all you can hear is the sound of the wind through the treetops and birdsong.  On past a plantation of wild cherry trees, early daffodils, carpets of snowdrops, the lily pond, pretty pink blossoms clutching the promise of Spring, and accompanied along the way by a heron.  It will be uplifting, peaceful, and tick every single box associated with a very good walk!  Let's go!

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.
