A September song in my vase on Monday

I have thrown everything I've got in the garden at my vase this week - well, nearly everything! The zinnias are for you, Cathy, to thank you for IAVOM, which we all enjoy preparing and posting, to start a new week in a flower-filled way! Have a good week everyone, and in such bewildering times (and it seems particularly so in the UK and the USA at the moment - with such incomprehensible people 'in charge'), may we all continue to enjoy our gardens and all the positivity and joy that they bring! Hooray!

    1. There is certainly an abundance of colour - not necessarily toning that well together, but by this time I am just glad to have pretty things to look at!! A

    1. I do feel that those of us who are so fortunate to be blessed with good things - space, gardens, health, a lovely environment etc - have to embrace it all in order to balance out the rest.

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!

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.  

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, ...
