Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited the Rose Garden in Regents Park after playing tennis on Saturday.. More good weather and a fairly active day led to too many photographs being taken. Today’s post is heavy on galleries to enable judicious skipping for busy readers. I started the day by preparingContinue reading “Watering and wandering”

Hovering about
Today’s guest picture comes from my Welsh correspondent Keiron. He has got an electric bike too, and sent me this idyllic picture from one of his recent rides. We had another fine and warm day here today, but there was a brisk wind, so I was happy to let my bike have a day offContinue reading “Hovering about”
Straight up
Today’s guest guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She has been visiting local gardens, and kindly sent me this picturesque scene. We had another lovely spring day here, not sunny all the time, but sunny enough to keep us cheerful. I dillied and dallied a bit, doing some tidying up and shredding ofContinue reading “Straight up”
Paint it black
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Ken, the ex archive group member. His son, Chris, who is visiting Perth, Australia, sent him this picture from a day trip to Rottnest Island, where he encountered a quokka. A quokka is not something that you see every day. We had another cool and windy day here,Continue reading “Paint it black”
Creative croaking
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She took my brother Andrew up to Kenwood House in the pursuit of spring colour today. We had recovered enough to go to church to sing with the choir this morning. Although I was a bit croaky, it helped me get some good bass notes in theContinue reading “Creative croaking”
Stepping back
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He is on a trip to London and took the opportunity to visit Regent’s Park to have coffee with my sister Mary after she had played tennis there this morning. I was very disappointed when I woke up today to find that yesterday’s trip to Longtown toContinue reading “Stepping back”
Two hair cuts
Today’s guest picture, taken by my brother Andrew, shows the old Midland Railway bridge across the river in Derby. The bridge is now used by cyclists and pedestrians. To get the major disappointment of the day out of the way right at the start of this post, my electric bike was not ready to beContinue reading “Two hair cuts”
Venturing forth
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. It shows a fine flower that our granddaughter Matilda was given on the occasion of her birthday last month. In a welcome sign of progress, I was able to attend a meeting of TVNR volunteers at the Initiative office this morning. I cycled down and back, andContinue reading “Venturing forth”
At a standstill
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It shows an example of the increasingly common outbreak of post box bothering which is becoming all the fashion these days. We had hoped to be able to go and sing in the church choir this morning, as this wouldn’t require any great travelling. However, it wasContinue reading “At a standstill”
Progress
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone, who instead of having coffee with me yesterday, played golf. He tells me that his form was like the weather, rather patchy. Still the view from Langholm Golf Course is always good, no matter how indifferent the golf is. After a slightly better night, we settled for an extremelyContinue reading “Progress”
