Today’s guest picture comes from my Welsh correspondent Keiron. He has got an electric bike too, and sent me this idyllic picture from one of his recent rides. We had another fine and warm day here today, but there was a brisk wind, so I was happy to let my bike have a day offContinue reading “Hovering about”

Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother’s scenic trip home after his visit to us. He passed though Buxton, and admired the magnificent thermal baths building there. We had another dry day here, and as it was forecast that the early sun would disappear by coffee time, I got up early for me andContinue reading “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”
Obliging weather
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She visited the botanic gardens on her way to the seaside in Southsea today. The forecast was for a cloudy day here today, and when our friend Stan leaned over the hedge as he passed by . . . . . . he wondered if it wasContinue reading “Obliging weather”
Paint it black
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Ken, the ex archive group member. His son, Chris, who is visiting Perth, Australia, sent him this picture from a day trip to Rottnest Island, where he encountered a quokka. A quokka is not something that you see every day. We had another cool and windy day here,Continue reading “Paint it black”
A visit to hospital
Today’s guest picture goes to show that the sun continues to shine in East Wemyss. You have to be up at six o’clock in the morning though, as our son Tony was yesterday, if you want to catch views like this. It was a first rate morning for cycling here today, dry, warm and withContinue reading “A visit to hospital”
Soup adventure
Today’s guest picture shows that I am not the only one to spot an orange tip butterfly. Our son Alistair took this picture of one spotted by his wife Clare in a local park in Edinburgh. There was not much to recommend the day when we got up this morning. It was raining steadily andContinue reading “Soup adventure”
Stepping back
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He is on a trip to London and took the opportunity to visit Regent’s Park to have coffee with my sister Mary after she had played tennis there this morning. I was very disappointed when I woke up today to find that yesterday’s trip to Longtown toContinue reading “Stepping back”
Onegesius makes a brief appearance
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who recently added to his fine swan gallery. It wasn’t freezing this morning but the recent run of chilly nights had been too much for our long suffering magnolia. It was a very sad sight. Mrs Tootlepedal was slightly better this morning, probably because she had managedContinue reading “Onegesius makes a brief appearance”
Cold
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It shows that it is apple blossom time in London. Spring retreated here today and we were back to decidedly chilly and unsympathetic weather, with a north easterly wind feeling very unkind if you went out into the garden. This didn’t bother Mrs Tootlepedal as much asContinue reading “Cold”
Fooled by the forecast
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. I said that she had seen azaleas at Kenwood in yesterday’s post but I wasn’t paying attention. She had visited the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park, where she also saw this pretty stream. Mrs Tootlepedal had put the trail camera out overnight, and when we checked inContinue reading “Fooled by the forecast”
