Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She saw some lambs on a recent walk. I am still waiting to see my first lamb of the year here. After two rather cold but splendidly sunny days, we got a rather colder and definitely unsunny day here today. The wind had got up andContinue reading “A little flaky”

Sitting on the fence
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Simon. He took advantage of the fine weather yesterday to visit High Cup Nick in the northern English hills. I start today’s post with an apology regarding yesterday’s effort. After successfully publishing the full post, I managed in a moment of absent mindedness to post an update withContinue reading “Sitting on the fence”
A ray of light (but only one)
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. He came across this fine outbreak of yellow brain (or witches butter) fungus on his walk today. It was a perfect day for winter cycling today, warmish, cloudy but not wet, and pretty calm. This made it all the more annoying that my cold is showing noContinue reading “A ray of light (but only one)”
Far too many fallen trees
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair in Edinburgh. He woke to find a sprinkling of snow on his balcony. This was a coincidence because we woke to snow here too . . . . . . and we had to walk very carefully to church to sing in the church choir. Although itContinue reading “Far too many fallen trees”
Power cut
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. It was taken in East Wemyss yesterday. It was a miserable, chilly, grey and drizzly day here, until it brightened up too late to be useful at all. The seed in the bird feeder hardly went down at all, and the nearest I got to taking aContinue reading “Power cut”
Rest and recuperation
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She met this fine example of Halloween yarn bombing when she was out and about in Portsmouth. We had a brighter and mostly dry day today, which was very welcome in spite of the fact that I couldn’t make the best use of it because I wasContinue reading “Rest and recuperation”
More sun, more breeze
Today’s guest picture comes from sunny East Wemyss. Our son Tony took this nice photograph of one of his dogs this afternoon. We had another fine day here, but we had to wait for a little unexpected rain at breakfast time to clear away before the good times rolled in. The shock of the rain,Continue reading “More sun, more breeze”
Senior moment
Today’s guest picture comes from my New York correspondent Mary-Jane. She was in a snowy Central Park when she met these charming animals. There is some debate as to whether they are dogs or polar bears. All trace of snow and ice has gone here, and we had another reasonably warm day. Unfortunately, a briskContinue reading “Senior moment”
Fairly dull
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He took it a day or two ago when sunny days and thick snow were on the go simultaneously in East Wemyss. Both the sunny days and the snow were noticeably absent here today… …but that didn’t mean that it was good weather in any way. ItContinue reading “Fairly dull”
Plan biscuit again
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew in Derby. It has been snowing hard there today. He has a good supply of croissants to hand though, so he isn’t worried about being snowed in. We had several degrees of frost here, but no snow. It was theoretically a pleasant sunny day, but when IContinue reading “Plan biscuit again”
