Today’s guest picture comes from East Wemyss. It is not doctored and I think it might be the most interesting picture that Tony has ever taken. It is not often that you see a rainbow letting off steam. It had rained heavily here overnight, but we had plenty of sunshine during the day. This wouldContinue reading “Nun better”

A special day
Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Simon. He is on holiday in the Highlands and sent me this bridge to add to my collection. It is the Jubilee Bridge crossing the marsh on the way to to Port Appin in Argyllshire. It was raining overnight here and it was raining when weContinue reading “A special day”
Going off with a bang
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary again. After visiting the pond in Regents Park, she found that she and her friends were the only ones brave enough to play tennis on a rather damp and gloomy day. They enjoyed both the peace and quiet and the game itself. We had a mixed dayContinue reading “Going off with a bang”
Flat out (and flat back)
Today’s guest picture comes from my Lancashire correspondent, Paul. He was cycling through Tockholes when he passed evidence that Lancashire farmers have been making silage when the sun shone too. We had another very lovely day here, with the sun out almost all day. It was a degree or two cooler than it has beenContinue reading “Flat out (and flat back)”
Going to the wall
Today’s guest picture comes from ex archive group member Ken. He came across this very delightful railway scene at Wylam on the Carlisle to Newcastle railway. We had another grey day in Langholm today, with a hint of drizzle when we went out after breakfast. I had time for a walk round the garden beforeContinue reading “Going to the wall”
A night on the town
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She was in a local botanic garden and was surprised to find a plant full of snails. Our spell of fine weather came to an end this morning and Mrs Tootlepedal and our neighbour Liz went on a post breakfast cycle ride in a light drizzle. TheyContinue reading “A night on the town”
A touch of late colour
Today’s guest picture come from our sonTony in East Wemyss. Not only do they have apparently perpetual sunshine there, but they also have free apples for passers by. It is a demi-paradise. We had another cool and cloudy morning here and, typically, we had just got settled down to coffee in the garden when theContinue reading “A touch of late colour”
Pussy cat, pussy cat where have you been?
Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Simon, He too was in the hills yesterday, but in bigger hills than the ones that I visited. He was skiing in France, the lucky chap. We had another beautiful morning here today and Mrs Tootlepedal had to go to a meeting so she couldn’t makeContinue reading “Pussy cat, pussy cat where have you been?”
Delayed gratification
Today’s guest picture comes from Venetia. Knowing that I like trees, she sent me this sunlit picture from Margery Fish’s East Lambrook Manor Garden which she recently visited. She tells me that it has excellent plant sales. I could hear some heavy rain in the night so I woke up expecting to see that theContinue reading “Delayed gratification”
Presents from above
Today’s guest picture comes from my recorder playing friend Susan. She works in Carlisle and had to take the bus to work today as access to her car parking space was impossible. The lake on the right of the picture is in fact a riverside park and only a temporary lake. They may have hadContinue reading “Presents from above”
