Chalk and cheese

Today’s picture shows Hannah, a young visitor,  pretending to be me and staring out of our window at the birds. Just as we were going to bed last night, it absolutely hammered down with rain and we were worried about  the garden under such an onslaught.  Happily it only lasted a few minutes before it

Sic transit

Today’s pictures shows a daffodil properly out at last. My visit to the doctor was not too bad as she concluded that I might be suffering from a chest infection and told me that only an idiot would go cycling under these circumstances.  I was pleased as this means that I can go on cycling. 

Empty gesture

Today’s picture sees the return of Maisie.  She is obviously enjoying her breakfast in the hands of one of her carers. I am always looking for pictures from here and there for picture of the day.  If you have one you can e-mail it to me at hutton.tommy@gmail.com.  Keep them small.  Curiosities, animals, trees, views,

Mist opportunity

Today’s picture is another from my brother Andrew’s pictures of walks and cycles in New Zealand.  These are some goats he met recently. It was a calm but misty day when we got up.  After breakfast, Mrs Tootlepedal put on her Sunday best and went off to sing in the Church choir.  She is not

Still our end wall gently weeps

Today’s picture shows the water running down the inside wall of our fireplace this morning. The leaking wall didn’t come as a surprise to us because it was blowing a gale and lashing with rain when we woke up. Fortunately the rain stopped and the wind eased off by coffee time although the window and

They made me do it

Today’s picture is another from Mrs Tootlepedal’s visit to the south.  It shows a lock on the River Thames near Marlow.  I have given it a big size because I thought it was a great view. The weather was a bit more normal for the time of year today up here and I was well

Easy like sunday morning

Today’s picture is from my sister Mary and shows Regent’s Park in autumn.  She was probably there to play a game of tennis. Mrs Tootlepedal reported that it was perfect day in the south and Mary’s picture seems to bear this out.  It wasn’t too bad here either, though it was a little gloomy at

Ringing

Today’s picture was sent from New Zealand by my brother Andrew.  He knows that I like gulls.  This is a red billed gull. I had arranged to go with Dr Cat Barlow to watch some bird ringing at the moorland feeder station.  However, it was raining steadily so the ringing was postponed as it is

Driven

Today’s picture of a sparrow in the plum tree gives a fair reflection of the weather. The weather is at least even handed.  Yesterday the sun shone from morning until night and today it rained from morning to night.  This took away some of the pleasure of driving to Warrington and back.  There is not

No pictures

I have the camera but I don’t have the wire to connect to Mrs Tootlepedal’s little computer which I am using. We are on an away day in the far east. I have taken many pictures which no doubt will appear in time. The weather has been kind, the hotel is good, Timothy Taylor is
