Today’s guest picture shows some colourful wildflowers captured by my brother Andrew on his walk yesterday. We had a warm and sunny day here today, which was very welcome. I got up feeling a lot better and started the day with great care, anxious not to throw away this happy state. I only produced noticeableContinue reading “Miles better”

A pedal and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew, who is in London, visiting my sister Mary. He spotted these two fine parakeets while walking in a park. We had a sunny morning here today but as it was -2°C when we got up, our joy was slightly modified. It warmed up quite quickly though, andContinue reading “A pedal and a tootle”
A pedal and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Libbie, who is visiting Perthshire. Knowing that I like trees, she sent me this picture of the Fortingall Yew, known for being one of the oldest trees in Britain, with modern estimates of its age being between 2,000 and 3,000 years. We had a day of variable weatherContinue reading “A pedal and a tootle”
On the trail of the lonesome pine (again)
Today’s guest picture is another of my sister Mary’s delightful studies of Regents Park in London. She goes there to play tennis and always looks about on her way. We woke to rather grey and windy weather with a forecast of some rain to come in the middle of the day. We were in noContinue reading “On the trail of the lonesome pine (again)”
Two reds on a grey day
Today’s guest picture is the fourth and last from my Somerset correspondent Venetia’s visit to Hestercombe Grdens near Taunton last month. We had another damp, grey and windy day here, with several quite heavy showers to keep us on our toes. I managed to find a nearly dry moment to get round to the cornerContinue reading “Two reds on a grey day”
Jam today
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He is on a short holiday and visited Tadcaster on his way to the coast at Scarborough today. We had another sunny day here, and it didn’t take too long for the temperature to warm up enough for me to be able to go out for aContinue reading “Jam today”
Coffee and two trips
Today’s guest picture comes from my Auckland correspondent Stephen. He gets views like this on his morning walks along the shore at Waitemata Harbour. Our spell of grey and cloudy weather continued here, but once again it was dry and comfortably above freezing. After breakfast, Mrs Tootlepedal went off to take the minutes at aContinue reading “Coffee and two trips”
More cake
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who noticed this unusual street sign in an alley when he was on a visit to Spondon. It was quite an appropriate sign for the post today, as I seemed to spend quite a lot of the day eating. After breakfast, I cycled round to the cornerContinue reading “More cake”
Socialising and cycling
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She took this picture of the River Itchen in Winchester, where she is on a short visit with my two other sisters. We had a grey but dry day here today. Being slightly chilly and not very windy, it was not a good drying day and theContinue reading “Socialising and cycling”
A pedal and a tootle!
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce who was beside the Tarras Water today. I expect that this golden-ringed dragonfly was having a rest as it was obviously tired. We had another mostly grey but dry day here today, still a bit cool for the time of the year, but there was nothing toContinue reading “A pedal and a tootle!”
