Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He came across a tree full of waxwings in East Wemyss yesterday. It was grey and chilly when we got up here this morning, but it was above freezing so that was welcome. After a leisurely breakfast and an enjoyable crossword, I roused myself enough to haveContinue reading “Winding about”

Slowing up
Today’s guest picture is another from my Somerset correspondent Venetia’s trip to Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands. She was very taken by the beautiful countryside she found on her visit. We had another fine day here, occasionally cloudy, occasionally sunny, but always dry. A cool north wind reminded us that summer has perhaps permanently slippedContinue reading “Slowing up”
Over the hills and quite far away
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She had heard of the bottlebrush tree before but she was quite surprised to see this bottle tree on a garden visit. Our day started with a check on the trail camera. There had been overnight hedgehog sightings. We were very happy. Then we had aContinue reading “Over the hills and quite far away”
In fluenza and out fluenza
Today’s guest picture comes from my Lancashire correspondent Paul. The shortage of heavy goods vehicle drivers must be hitting home if beer from Blackburn needs to be delivered to Burnsall, 38 miles away, like this. We had another dry, cool, grey morning here today. However, there was a welcome burst of sunshine in the afternoon.Continue reading “In fluenza and out fluenza”
A new walk
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He asks whether we think the picture was taken in sunny East Wemyss or on a Greek Island. We know the answer. Our run of cool weather continued here today, and once again infrequent and short rain showers made it hard to plan when to hang theContinue reading “A new walk”
A date with Mrs Tootlepedal (she goes bananas)
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset corespondent, Venetia. She visited the wonderfully named ‘The Newt’ estate where she came across this excellent sinuous bridge. Although we are not completely free from the threat of wet and windy weather yet, we awoke to a grey but dry day today. The wind was still too briskContinue reading “A date with Mrs Tootlepedal (she goes bananas)”
More sunshine
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony and shows one of his dogs relaxing in his garden. He tells me that he sun (almost) always shines in East Wemyss. When I woke up this morning, I was very happy to find that the sun was shining and my feet were not hurting. Life wasContinue reading “More sunshine”
Going wild
Today’s guest picture shows a feature of the Sheffield Peace Gardens. They were seen by Bruce on a recent stay in the city. Today started very oddly when I woke up realising that I had just had a good night’s sleep. This was so unusual that it took me until Dropscone arrived with Friday treacle sconesContinue reading “Going wild”
Unexpected traffic jams
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo from Manitoba. From Manitoba but not in Manitoba as she has taken a break from endless winter to catch a ray or two in Antigua. It looks like a good decision as more snow has arrived at home. We had a generally sunny, almost totally dry day hereContinue reading “Unexpected traffic jams”
Pride comes before a fall.
Today’s guest picture comes from Anna, a former B&B guest of ours. She was visiting Costa Rica when she met this unusual towel rabbit. We had another lovely sunny day today and with the temperature just above freezing, I was happy to welcome Dropscone for coffee until the day got warm enough for cycling. AsContinue reading “Pride comes before a fall.”
