Gosford walks in May

I have had quite a few walks through the grounds of Gosford House during May.  The dogs and I have walked in wind, rain, but mostly sunshine.  Gosford is the most relaxing place to walk that I can think of!  Green, tranquil, peaceful, full of birdsong, reflections, pools of water and pools of light, cool woodland, flowers and shadows, and very few people!  Here is a series of photographs taken throughout May, starting with the girls who lay the eggs we enjoy for breakfast every Sunday morning!

    1. Thank you Cathy, and thank you for looking at this post! I sometimes feel as though I am talking to myself, except on Mondays of course!! Gosford House and grounds, near Aberlady, are just over five miles away. There are no formal gardens now, (if there ever were, not sure) but a lake and lily pond, the usual 18th century follies, urns and some quite elaborate stonework in various parts of the grounds. There are a lot of water birds, grey lag geese, herons, a couple of stately swans, mallards, moorhens - all the usual culprits, living in the most magnificent surroundings! The woods are lovely too and have been so cool and delicious to walk in during these very warm days. There are usually a few people around but really not many! Social distancing is absolutely no problem here, which is why I try and walk there as often as I can, rather than closer to home! 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.
