Garden notes, early May

Our little garden has been bright and colourful for weeks now, mostly with wallflowers and tulips.  Outside, on the driveway the lilac trees are working up to give a lovely display and the pink cherry trees have also been absolutely beautiful.  The double flowers remind me of ballerina dresses, especially lit with golden evening light.  It is a delicious time of year.

      Lots of fat buds of various bits and pieces to look forward to in the garden! We are very lucky, in this awful current situation, to have such a lovely space to sit. It's very much like an outdoor room, and we have had lots of sunshine to make it even more enjoyable! Cold north wind at the moment though! Not so good but Ted is still enjoying his spot on the garden bench in the sunshine, with a lovely fur coat to keep him warm! Love to all. A xxxx

    Sounds perfect, well done Ted. Blakey Girl - our new puppy enjoys the sun too... she lays behind my chair when I am on line teaching.
    Stay safe and enjoy your lovely space. xx

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!

Coastal walk from Gullane to North Berwick

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. For most of the walk, there is the choice between wandering along a series of beaches, or following a path along the top of each. There's no denying it, at heart I am a shell-seeker.  I have loads of shells at home.  We lived on one of the out islands in the Bahamas for a just over a year, ...

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...
