And breathe .....

..... which is exactly what I did this afternoon, walking alongside the rocky beach at Aberlady.  It takes less than ten minutes to drive to Aberlady, and then the dogs and I walked to the edge of the village and the shoreline.  The sun was shining, a coolish wind blowing and the waves broke on to rocks, sand and pebbles.  The song of larks tumbled down from the sky and sea pinks and birdsfoot trefoil brought colour to the grass along the top of the beach.  It was a blissful walk.  Counting my blessings.

  1. Oh how lucky you are to have that glorious scenery on your doorstep Amanda. I've never been up the coast that far north but must make every effort to do so whenever we can. I was a student in Newcastle many moons ago and enjoyed some fabulous walks on some of Northumberland's beaches.

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.
