Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He passed this rural scene on his walk today. The day here started with a trip with Evie to her nursery. As Annie lives in an area of London popular with Portuguese people, we were able to buy some very nice custard tarts from a Portuguese shopContinue reading “Another visit to the allotment”

Small outings
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony who was walking in the golden fields of East Wemyss today. On our visit to Evie, we escaped the heavy rain that fell on other parts of London and the weather turned out to be much kinder today. The sharp eyed Mrs Tootlepedal spotted a fox inContinue reading “Small outings”
Another quick post.
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He found a leek ready to flower. We had a quiet day after the excitements of the party. Mrs Tootlepedal and I had the honour of accompanying Evie to her nursery in the morning. Then we enjoyed ourselves in Annie’s garden where some grass care was needed.Continue reading “Another quick post.”

Gone
Today’s guest picture comes from another of my brother Andrews canal walks. I spent the morning saying goodbye to the garden. And waving at any blackbird that I saw.

A semi Sandy stroll
Today’s guest picture comes from an ex teaching friend, Jim. He has sent me this picture from a friend of his in Florida, and suggests that I shouldn’t complain too much about having cats visiting my garden when I see what his friend has to put up with. As far as alligators went, we hadContinue reading “A semi Sandy stroll”
The day after
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba. A stranger sneaked into her yard the other day and tried to blend inconspicuously into the background but she spotted the intruder. After a reasonable Christmas day, the weather gods decided that we should not be happy for too long and gave us a very deplorableContinue reading “The day after”
