The first is a picture from my sister Susan’s recent trip to Switzerland. ..and the second is from even further afield. Joyce has sentContinue reading “Just ducky”

Expert analysis
Today’s picture is of my flute pupil, Luke. He has been practising hard and is making good progress. The weather dawned fine and warm but the forecast threatened rain later. Dropscone was taking medical advice so I was on my own for a pedal. I had met Kevin, a near neighbour and bike enthusiast, atContinue reading “Expert analysis”
A full day
Today’s picture shows a fine bunch of garden bluebells It rained very heavily during the night but by the time I got up, the weather was fine if cloudy. I had a quick mouthful of cereal and zipped down to Longtown to fetch my speedy bike from the bike doctor. On my way back, IContinue reading “A full day”
Spotted
Today’s picture is another tulip Dropscone was away playing golf so I got up early and set out round the morning ride by myself. The early start was in order to avoid the forecast rain. I had got to five miles from home when I felt the first spots of rain. This rather spoiled theContinue reading “Spotted”
Going cuckoo
Today’s picture is of Mrs Tootlepedal’s favourite plant, an alium It was another ‘not a cloud in the sky’ day today. Because we were due to play golf later on, Dropscone and I set off at 8.30am for the morning pedal and the early temperature of 5º meant returning to some winter wear in spiteContinue reading “Going cuckoo”
Flat out

After a visit to the town to getContinue reading “Flat out”

In the morning, I set off to do a gentle circuit of the morning route, trying not toContinue reading “Round and round”
Another pedal, another tootle
Today’s picture is yet another tulip. I can’t help it. Although we are still waiting for some rain, the weather took a more suitable turn for April today with a brisk and rather chilly wind. We said goodbye to our B & B guest who was cycling to Land’s End. He has been enjoying aContinue reading “Another pedal, another tootle”
Working hard
Today’s picture is another from the South Bank festival remembering the Festival of Britain of 1951. It came from my sister Mary. I wouldn’t like to say what it is. After my day of rest yesterday, Dropscone appeared for the morning ride and laughed merrily when I said I was hoping for a gentle pedal.Continue reading “Working hard”
Going green
Today’s picture, sent to me by Dropscone, shows him off playing golf today instead of doing proper bicycling. In the absence of Dropscone, I had a rest from morning cycling and stayed to see our B & B guests off as Mrs Tootlepedal had to go to work. They had the means to go aContinue reading “Going green”
