Today’s guest picture comes from my nephew Nick, courtesy of his father, my brother Andrew. It shows that Nick’s extensive native tree planting in his garden must have been well done. The trees are flourishing. After a pleasant day yesterday, we reverted to type today. There was some steady rain overnight, and it kept rainingContinue reading “No charge”

A real step up
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. The place where he is currently working doesn’t just have views of odd architecture, it has interesting wildlife too. It was chilly here today, but it was above freezing when we got up. We are in for a spell of cold weather though, and it isContinue reading “A real step up”
On the track to recovery
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. It is a delightful study of the English having fun at the seaside (while waiting for a thunderstorm to come in). I would like to start this post by thanking all those who took the time to offer me good wishes in the comments on yesterday’s post.Continue reading “On the track to recovery”
Unreliable forecast
Today’s guest picture comes from my Manitoba correspondent, Mary Jo. She was impressed by this crop of canola beside her local airfield. We had been promised showers today, so it was quite hard to find that we had another day with no rain in it. We shall run out of things to grumble about ifContinue reading “Unreliable forecast”
Up hill and down at the club
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She recently took my brother Andrew to Kenwood House where they enjoyed the sight of a magnificent magnolia. Andrew kindly stood in front of the tree to give a proper scale to the picture. In spite of a rather gloomy forecast, we had a windy but fineContinue reading “Up hill and down at the club”
Six bridges!
Today’s guest picture is another stolen from contributions sent to me for the last camera club meeting. This is a view that Stan took when he was up a hill in the Ewes Valley. It shows just how flat and narrow the valley bottom is. Our spell of very mixed weather continued today, and itContinue reading “Six bridges!”
Frozen out and in
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who was out and about on a very sunny day before the recent snow in London. She visited St Catherine’s Dock at just the right moment We had our coldest morning yet here today at -11°C/-12°F. I got out as far as the bird feeders in theContinue reading “Frozen out and in”
Much better than expected
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. Like us they had sunshine and clouds there today. Edinburgh seems to be under the cloud. Once again there had been weather warnings for strong winds and heavy rain, and once again we woke to rain, but it was not very heavy and thereContinue reading “Much better than expected”
An improving day
As we had a very wet and grey morning here, I am pleased to have an East Wemyss dawn as the guest picture of the day by way of a contrast. Tony was up early again. It was so wet here in the morning that Dropscone came round in his car for coffee instead ofContinue reading “An improving day”
Diverted by cows
Today’s scenic guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. Although it looks peaceful enough, he tells me that the wind was blowing so strongly that he literally had to hold on to his hat as he crossed the stream. We had quite a windy day here too, and it was grey and occasionally rainy. IContinue reading “Diverted by cows”
