Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He tells me that he got hissed at for taking it. The highlight of a cloudy morning was the arrival of Dropscone, who was well enough to be able to potter round to us on foot, carrying some of his excellent home made scones. Mrs Tootlepedal joinedContinue reading “Deprivetion”

Under powered
Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Liz. She found an inviting gate at the end of a tunnel this afternoon. Our spell of excellent weather continued today, and I spent a lot of time outside. After breakfast, I opened the greenhouse and did some watering in the vegetable garden. The downside of the goodContinue reading “Under powered”
Hovering about
Today’s guest picture comes from my Welsh correspondent Keiron. He has got an electric bike too, and sent me this idyllic picture from one of his recent rides. We had another fine and warm day here today, but there was a brisk wind, so I was happy to let my bike have a day offContinue reading “Hovering about”
Paint it black
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Ken, the ex archive group member. His son, Chris, who is visiting Perth, Australia, sent him this picture from a day trip to Rottnest Island, where he encountered a quokka. A quokka is not something that you see every day. We had another cool and windy day here,Continue reading “Paint it black”
A little flaky
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She saw some lambs on a recent walk. I am still waiting to see my first lamb of the year here. After two rather cold but splendidly sunny days, we got a rather colder and definitely unsunny day here today. The wind had got up andContinue reading “A little flaky”
Going round in circles
Today’s guest picture is another from my friend Mark’s Cairngorm adventure. His dog Henry is no mean mountaineer himself. We had another cold night with the temperature bottoming out at -6°C. It was creeping up to zero when we got up and reached a heady +4° during the morning. I would have happily spent timeContinue reading “Going round in circles”
Getting up
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Mark. He has been on a walking holiday in the Cairngorms where he saw this beautiful mistbow. The much heralded cold weather arrived this morning, and our garden thermometer reported -4°C when we got up for breakfast. However, as the winds were light, the skies were blue, andContinue reading “Getting up”
A pedal and a prayer
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie who is in Abu Dhabi at the moment. She says that it is almost as good as being in East Wemyss. We were neither in East Wemyss nor Abu Dhabi today so we were not surprised to wake up to another cold, grey day with a north-easterlyContinue reading “A pedal and a prayer”
Pushing on
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend and ex teaching colleague Ada. She is taking in some rays in Tenerife and enjoyed meeting some wild poinsettias there while on a walk today. We had another basically cold and grey day here today. Scraps of sunshine appeared now and again and as the north-easterly wind wasContinue reading “Pushing on”
A song and a stroll
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He was walking through Regents Park in London yesterday on his way to have coffee with my sister Mary after her game of tennis when he passed the Triton and Dryads fountain. After a promise of a week of grey weather ahead, we got rather excited whenContinue reading “A song and a stroll”
