Fun in the city

I had time for a quick pedal on my pushbike out to Paddockhole and back before we drove to the busy station at Tweedbank and caught the train to Edinburgh. We enjoyed going to see the musical ‘Annie’ with family members and I am writing this as we are waiting to catch the train backContinue reading “Fun in the city”

Back home

Today’s guest picture comes from an old friend of our son Tony. Michael found himself face to face with a pair of doves recently. We worked our way from our hotel to Euston Station today by way of an exhibition about the myths surrounding Alexander the Great at the British Library, and coffee and toastContinue reading “Back home”

Another brief post

We had two services for my late sister Susan today, a private family cremation at Golders Green in the morning, and a public memorial service in the afternoon, attended by seventy friends and family in the magnificent St Pancras Church …. …. where as usual the women were doing the heavy lifting. The music, chosenContinue reading “Another brief post”

At home

A very brief post today just to say that after a hard day of preparation and some delay, my sister Susan arrived home and was greatly cheered by being in familiar surroundings after the rather alien world of the hospital ward. My sister Mary and I were indebted to my daughter Annie for her helpContinue reading “At home”

Seeing Susan

I went to London today to visit my sister Susan who is in hospital and not very well. If all goes well, she will be discharged home tomorrow, and I am helping my sister Mary with the necessary arrangements. The journey down . . . … went with the utmost smoothness, but it was veryContinue reading “Seeing Susan”

Cold walks and second helpings

It was a crisp morning when I went to walk the dogs with Tony and Marianne but the fact that the road outside the house had turned into skating rink overnight took us all by surprise. Watching Tony negotiate his way off the ice while attached to two dogs was quite alarming. However he managedContinue reading “Cold walks and second helpings”

Two good walks and a feast

I started my day with a walk with Tony and Marianne and their the dogs through the fields and woods around East Wemyss. After a late breakfast and a cup of strong coffee, I walked along the Fife Coastal Path from East Wemyss to West Wemyss with Mrs Tootlepedal. The weather was a bit variableContinue reading “Two good walks and a feast”

And the sun shone

Today’s guest picture shows the night sky in East Wemyss. It was taken by Marianne two days ago. She and Tony arrived in Langholm this morning and after a late breakfast, they drove us back to East Wemyss where almost inevitably the sun came out to welcome us. It last long though and it wasContinue reading “And the sun shone”

Last day in London

We had a quiet final morning with just a visit to the allotments where Annie grows her veg After lunch, Mrs Tootlepedal did some work in the front garden and I went for a walk. I discovered that you don’t need a watch in Brixton as there are many clocks about. I walked through BrixtonContinue reading “Last day in London”
