Today’s guest picture comes from East Wemyss where our son Tony spotted a heron going somewhere on business. We had a day that was not quite as warm as yesterday but whichmanaged to be more muggy. I arranged to have coffee with Sandy and then went out into the garden to see how the flowersContinue reading “A 5% chance”

Going full circle
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He took his son Nick on a ten mile walk up as many hills as he could find. Nick is going on a Nepal trek soon and needed some practice. Here is Nick on Ecton Hill at 1211ft. My morning walk to the (corner) shop once againContinue reading “Going full circle”
Bad timing
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s holiday in Forres. He and his daughter Susan went down to see the sea at the mouth of Findhorn Bay. There was a lot of sand about The weather today was as confused as the forecasts. It couldn’t really make up its mind whether it was raining or notContinue reading “Bad timing”
Putting on weight again
Today’s guest picture is another blast of sunshine from the past. This time it is a pleasant valley scene from one of my brother Andrew’s Derbyshire walks in early October. After a rather restless night, I got up to a sunny morning and a much improved interior economy and after a quiet morning, I wasContinue reading “Putting on weight again”
A poor effort
Today’s guest picture comes from my Highland correspondent Jenni. She went even further north from Inverness for a cruise and found herself in Alaskan waters. We had an uncharacteristically dull day here both as far as the weather went and my level of activity. Mrs Tootlepedal was up and at it early with a tripContinue reading “A poor effort”
Noun: Sconcompedaltoot – Defn: A perfect day
Today’s guest picture comes from my Newcastle-on-Tyne correspondent and shows her children posing beside Stephenson’s Rocket. It rained several times today but disappointingly not enough to register any amount on Mary Jo’s scientific rain gauge. Still, the lightness of the occasional drizzle and the sunny spells in between allowed me to spend a productive andContinue reading “Noun: Sconcompedaltoot – Defn: A perfect day”
On the road
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who was passing Tamworth castle the other day when the sun came out. We had another cool morning here but with added sunshine and the day soon became suitable for gardening and cycling. I had a walk round the garden after breakfast and had to duck asContinue reading “On the road”
A good day for being inside
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who went to Margate to visit the Turner Gallery, which can be seen in the background of her shot. I had the job of being the stand in feeder filler at the Moorland bird hide today and it was dry but chilly when I drove up toContinue reading “A good day for being inside”
Slow progress
Today’s guest picture is rather small but that is how it was sent to me by my friend Sandra. I have put it in because it shows some of her regular flock of long tail tits visiting her feeder. It is a great benefit to live right on the edge of town if you wantContinue reading “Slow progress”
Holding my breath
Today’s guest picture shows the village pond in Osmaston, Derbyshire. It was passed by my brother Andrew while on an outing with his walking group. After a moment of dry weather before breakfast, the day very soon reverted to type and got wet. Dropscone rang me up from the golf course where he was hitting aContinue reading “Holding my breath”
