Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone. He had occasion to visit Talkin Tarn near Brampton last week while on an outing with his oldest son who was visiting him. They didn’t walk round the tarn though. It was still snowing when we went to bed last night, so there was a moment of anticipation whenContinue reading “Fleeting moments”

A song, a stroll and a sermon
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She visited Marjorie Fish’s East Lambrook Manor garden where she found some very pretty aconites, and there was even a bee as a bonus. The weather gods kindly delivered us a slightly warmer, slightly less grey and somewhat less windy day today, perfect for winter cycling.Continue reading “A song, a stroll and a sermon”
A new shopping experience
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He saw this object in an art shop window and wondered what market it was aimed at. Short fat dog lovers perhaps? It was a bit warmer today, but as the clouds were down and the wind was up, it didn’t feel very cheerful as we cycledContinue reading “A new shopping experience”
Changeable
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony who kindly forwarded this picture taken by his partner Marianne from her place of work this morning. Some workplaces have better views than others. I had to be up and about quite sharply today. The new lens for the Archive Group microfiche reader had arrived and IContinue reading “Changeable”
A short cut
Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour, Liz. Needing a bit of brightness to enliven anther drab day here, I am happy to use this picture which she took when she walked up Warbla during our recent bright but chilly spell. I had a very quiet morning on a grey, chilly and windy day. IContinue reading “A short cut”
Cutting it fine
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony in East Wemyss. It shows once again that he is living in the sunshine capital of Scotland. But he still needed a fire on in the evening. It was a great deal of warmer in the house when we came down for breakfast today, and itContinue reading “Cutting it fine”
Singing and sunshine
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. At first glance, you may think that you can see many Santas in this festive shop display, but a closer examination will show multiple self portraits of the clever photographer. We had a much better day here today as far as the weather went. Although there wereContinue reading “Singing and sunshine”
A late walk
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He managed to take a very atmospheric picture as he crossed the River Derwent late on a misty afternoon recently. We had a marked change in the weather here today as we went back to a prolonged spell of rain. Luckily, not only did Margaret join usContinue reading “A late walk”
A riverside outing
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who was swanning around today. It seems to be getting a little hotter every day at the moment, and for a brief moment this afternoon, we touched 85°F (which is just under 30°C) according to our local weather station. This led to some rationing of how muchContinue reading “A riverside outing”
Stretching legs and fingers
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony’s Highland holiday. He has had some fine weather up there. I had quite a full day here today, though I allowed myself a gentle start. It was warm and cloudy when Dropscone came round for coffee (and scones) and Mrs Tootlepedal went off to have herContinue reading “Stretching legs and fingers”
