Today’s picture is of Adrian, our winter B&B guest, who is working at EWM There were three unexpected bonuses today. The first was an excellent picture sent to me by my sister Mary, probably from Regents Park during one of her morning walks. She has obviously been reading the camera manual most carefully. What anContinue reading “Unexpected bonus”

Very satisfying day indeed
Today’s picture is of the tame heron at the Kilngreen What a glorious day. The temperature rose to a magnificent 6º (it just missed a magnificent seven) and the snow has really faded away except in shaded spots. As a result, for the first time for ages I was able to get out a bike,Continue reading “Very satisfying day indeed”
At long last
Today’s picture is of a frozen cobweb outside the bathroom window. The photo doesn’t do it justice. It was magical to look at. It was another rather housebound day today, though Mrs Tootlepedal went to work and I managed a short trip to John’s shop. It was minus 5º when we got up and itContinue reading “At long last”
No tootling, no pedalling
There was more snow last night so here’s a fresh garden picture It felt as though there was quite a lot of snow but by the end of the day, when I measured it, there was 2 inches. My son Anthony and my sister Mary have kindly sent me their snow pictures from Edinburgh andContinue reading “No tootling, no pedalling”
Progress
A garden bench gives a view of the amount of snow that had fallen this morning. It snowed a little more through the day but in the evening it began to snow in earnest. I shall put a picture on tomorrow’s post to show the difference. Although it says on the news that Scotland hasContinue reading “Progress”
Going nowhere
Today’s pictures are replicas of yesterday’s to show that an inch or two of snow fell overnight. There is still not a great deal of snow on the hill. As you can see from the slightly muted colour, it wasn’t such a brilliantly sunny day as we have been getting with the cold weather recently.Continue reading “Going nowhere”
Pedalling and tootling (and walking)
Today’s picture is of a cage full of budgies which I passed on my bike ride as I went through Hollows It was far too cold (1º C) to go pedalling this morning so Dropscone took his ailing gears off to the bike shop and I dawdled around in my dressing gown being a retiredContinue reading “Pedalling and tootling (and walking)”
Lesson learned (or tried)
Today’s picture is a glimpse of sun in Mrs Tootlepedal’s favourite plant, grass It was a good day in the morning for the usual ride and we did it in a reasonable time. The temperature had risen a bit on the past few days and the wind had dropped a lot. The road works onContinue reading “Lesson learned (or tried)”
Grey day
Today’s picture was sent to me by my sister Mary from her recent holiday in the Lake District and stands as a contrast to the New Zealand lake in yesterday’s post. It is lucky that Mary sent me this lovely picture from last week because today was not a day for taking the camera outContinue reading “Grey day”
Back to normal
Today’s picture is of a very rare bird indeed, my sister Susan in New Zealand I have received an album of 100 photographs from my brother in New Zealand, where my sister and a friend are visiting him. I have taken this one out. There is another in the gallery at the bottom of thisContinue reading “Back to normal”
