I was looking through my files when I found today’s guest picture. It shows a Liverpool gull hoping to get Bruce to open his hotel window and give it a snack. It was taken before Bruce went off to Helsinki. He gets about a lot. It was sunny and windy here today but as thereContinue reading “Three things”

A song but no miles
Today’s guest picture comes from Mike Tinker. He was photographed by his companion on a walk where the stepping stones left quite a lot to be desired. How the photographer got to the other side of the steam is not recorded. We had another dry and occasionally sunny day but the wind was still veryContinue reading “A song but no miles”
Seed catcher
Today’s picture is a second from Joyce’s holiday in Florida. It must have been a jolt to come back home to snow. Never mind Canada, it was snowing in Langholm this morning. When I looked out of the bedroom window, there was a mini blizzard in progress but happily by the time I had foundContinue reading “Seed catcher”
A spring in my step
I asked for pictures to put in the picture of the day spot and I got six sent today so I am going to have two contrasting pictures of the day today. The first from my sister Susan shows spring in Regent’s Park, London and the second from Joyce Lewis shows the view from herContinue reading “A spring in my step”
Not getting about much
Today’s picture shows why the morning ride was not an attractive option. Instead of pedalling, I buckled down to do some of the final work on the DVD before today’s committee meeting. Arthur Bell came round and I took the opportunity to show him three sections to check that I hadn’t made any major factualContinue reading “Not getting about much”
Girdle scones
Today’s picture is a sign of spring from the garden. You may be able to see from the blue label beside these early crocuses that Mrs Tootlepedal expects them to flower in early March so, in spite of the cold winter, we may not be behind in the growing season. Both Dropscone and Chuck wereContinue reading “Girdle scones”
Anyone know how to build an ark?
Today’s picture is a benchmark on the old railway bridge at Broomholm Once more we woke to pouring rain. It was another day without a pedal. Once again the upside of this was that I did as much work on the DVD as a very slow computer would let me. After an hour or soContinue reading “Anyone know how to build an ark?”
A day of action
Today’s picture, taken by Dropscone, shows me practising my putting before playing nine holes of golf this afternoon. The day started with a bonus as Chuck Muir joined Dropscone and me for our morning ride. It was still pretty cool but there was no danger of meeting black ice so we wrapped up well andContinue reading “A day of action”
Many a slip
Today’s picture shows just how desperate the cabin fever is getting in the Tootlepedal household. Mrs Tootlepedal is polishing a stainless steel spoon. I have to watch out myself. If I stand still too long, I get dusted. The day started with a double dose of sociability. Our neighbour, Liz, joined us for a cupContinue reading “Many a slip”
Back on course
Today’s picture is a London squirrel provided by my sister Mary, who is obviously getting to grips with her camera really well. Dropscone dropped in this morning after we had said goodbye to our B&B guest. He brought a traditional portion of black bun with him to see in the New Year. He also broughtContinue reading “Back on course”
