A change of weather and a change of mind

Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba. She spotted a good example of a snow angel and liked the careful work involved. We actually had a glimpse of blue sky here as we got up this morning. However, it soon disappeared and I got rained on when I cycled round to the corner

Wet again

Today’s guest picture comes from new camera club member James. He couldn’t get to the last meeting but he did send me this delightful study of Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand. Once again, there was no sign of sunshine here today, as yet another grey morning trundled off the weather gods’ production line. A small

Mostly trees today

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She went for a touch of culture at the Royal Academy yesterday. We had another in our succession of cloudy but relatively warm days today and it was 8°C (46°F) when we cycled up to the wood at Hallpath after a late breakfast to help with some

Not a fan

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found the River Derwent in reflective mood the other day and kindly thought of my liking for bridge pictures. My sisters in London woke up to a heavy fall of snow today. Here we had another cold, frosty and dry day. It was foggy in the

Sunshine and seaside

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who was sitting outside a cafe beside the Thames yesterday when she got an unexpected treat. We got an unusual treat here today in the shape of a sunny day. To add to the pleasure of the day, it wasn’t even very cold in the morning, which

More rain but time for a walk too

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She and my brother Andrew are trying to match each other with swan pictures at the moment. This was Mary’s original effort today. We were woken by some very heavy rain, so after breakfast I walked down to the park bridge in a light drizzle to see

The first pedal of the year

Today’s guest picture came out a curious colour, but our son Tony sent it to me just to show that they have a moon in East Wemyss as well as lots of sunshine. We didn’t see the sun or the moon here when we got up today because we were back to cloudy and grey

Genuine tidying up

Today’s guest post comes from my friend Dropscone, the golfer. He has found several new hazards on the golf course lately. At least they save on mowing costs. We had a dry but grey day here, and once again I had to take things carefully to avoid making my knees worse. My knee felt pretty

Quick cooking, slow cycling

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. Just to show that the sun doesn’t always shine on East Wemyss, he sent us this picture of the moon shining there this evening instead. There was no sun to be seen in Langholm when we got up this morning. The clouds were clamped down on the

Down but about

Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie in London. She tried to get the bus driver to take her to the pot of gold but he insisted on sticking to his route. There was no chance of a pot of gold here today. We had more than enough rain for a rainbow, but not
