Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited the Rose Garden in Regents Park after playing tennis on Saturday.. More good weather and a fairly active day led to too many photographs being taken. Today’s post is heavy on galleries to enable judicious skipping for busy readers. I started the day by preparingContinue reading “Watering and wandering”

Hovering about
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”
Straight up
Today’s guest guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She has been visiting local gardens, and kindly sent me this picturesque scene. We had another lovely spring day here, not sunny all the time, but sunny enough to keep us cheerful. I dillied and dallied a bit, doing some tidying up and shredding ofContinue reading “Straight up”
A quiet but enjoyable day
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She went to Dunster beach in Somerset yesterday. She tells me that if you look very hard across the beach, you might be able to see the sea and even Wales, but I think that she is being optimistic. We had a very quiet day here asContinue reading “A quiet but enjoyable day”
Getting there
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. He had two spectators for his walk with his dogs this morning. We had another day of calm, fine weather here today, so it was a natural thought that some cycling might be in order. I even got organised enough to get going beforeContinue reading “Getting there”
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”
Spotters spotted
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He headed north to Penrith today and stopped at the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle for a lunch break. It didn’t get as cold overnight as had been feared, but it was still a chilly morning with a keen north westerly wind when we got up. IContinue reading “Spotters spotted”
Stepping back
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Gavin. He recently spent some time in Wigtown in the west of our region where he watched the tide come in to fill the little harbour. With no noticeable improvement in the state of my chest when I got up this morning, I bit on the bullet, abandonedContinue reading “Stepping back”
Perfect timing
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He and my sister Mary visited Greenwich Park yesterday, and enjoyed this striking view from the top of the hill. Following my policy of taking things easily until I am back to full working order, I had a very leisurely morning today. My only exercise was aContinue reading “Perfect timing”
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”
