Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Simon. He is on holiday in the Highlands and sent me this bridge to add to my collection. It is the Jubilee Bridge crossing the marsh on the way to to Port Appin in Argyllshire. It was raining overnight here and it was raining when weContinue reading “A special day”

Having my cake and eating it
Today’s guest picture completes a trilogy of recent East Wemyss scenes; day, dawn and dusk. This is dusk today, as seen by our son Tony. It was my birthday today, and the weather gods obliged by presenting Langholm with a beautifully sunny morning to greet me when I got up. Just to make sure thatContinue reading “Having my cake and eating it”
More birthday porridge

At Wauchope Cottage there was another birthday to celebrate as Mrs Tootlepedal tried in vain to catch me up. Continue reading “More birthday porridge”

There were certainly no popsicle eating opportunities to be had in Langholm today as it was miserable from dawn to dusk with ample supplies of both wind and rain. To top off aContinue reading “Into every life a little rain must fall.”
An older woman
Today’s picture shows Mrs Tootlepedal in the arms of her father. It was her birthday today and she hasn’t changed a bit. Unfortunately it was a dreadful day of rain and gales and not suitable for driving long distances, let alone cycling so a proposed jaunt was abandoned. I made her a special plate ofContinue reading “An older woman”
Dawn of a new age
Today’s picture shows my new wheel and I think we can all agree that it is a very beautiful wheel indeed. The picture clearly shows two things: one, that the morning ride was done in muddy conditions and two, that I am not very good at bike cleaning. I thought I had given it aContinue reading “Dawn of a new age”
