Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. I never tire of his East Wemyss scenes, and I am grateful that he gets up early to walk his dogs before going to work. This one was taken at 5.45 am on Tuesday. Unlike Tony, I don’t leap up in the morning, and for theContinue reading “Better than expected”

Taxing day
Today’s guest picture is another from America. Mary Jane from New York sent me this impressive array of dogs in the charge of professional dog walkers. They would have to pay me a lot to do that job. We had another cold, grey day here today with the temperature not getting above 5°C. It isContinue reading “Taxing day”
A good block
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who did some bird spotting in the centre of Derby today. It was another pretty dreich day here when we got up, and it wasn’t a great surprise considering some more overnight rain, that I found Mary Jo’s rain gauge pretty well full to the brim whenContinue reading “A good block”
Early birds
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony, it was taken yesterday and once again goes to prove that while we may be having miserably grey days here, East Wemyss is still the sunshine capital of the known world. There was a tremendous hailstorm here in the night but it was mercifully short and byContinue reading “Early birds”
Into the woods
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She felt that as I had been a bit lacking of flying birds recently, she should help me out. She visited RSPB West Sedgmoor on Saturday and saw a great many teal. My first picture of the day was taken very early in the morning indeed. Continue reading “Into the woods”
Walking the walk
Today’s guest picture comes from Stephen, my Australian correspondent. He says that it is easy to see the effects of the bush fires raging in the Blue Mountains while walking the streets of Sydney, especially as the sun comes up behind the haze at dawn. We were hoping for some sun here today and weContinue reading “Walking the walk”
Fingers crossed
Today’s guest pictures shows an original use for an old pallet. Our son Tony made the coat rack and sent me the picture. We hope to see it in real life tomorrow. This is an early post as we have a full evening ahead of us with a concert in the Langholm Church involving LangholmContinue reading “Fingers crossed”
The return of winter
We had such a grey day here that I badly needed something bright for the post so today’s guest offering is another of Tommy cycling in the South African sunshine. Lucky chap. The only colour in the garden today was provided by a few stubborn daffodils who defied the cold and the wind. It wasContinue reading “The return of winter”
Smashing puddles
Today’s guest picture was taken yesterday by my neighbour Gavin, who was walking behind us back from the Market Place after the band had played. He describes what he saw as ‘a rose between two thorns’. Rather rude I thought. We had another lovely sunny day today but with added ice… …which we haven’t seenContinue reading “Smashing puddles”
Nowhere and somewhere and then some
Today’s guest picture is another from my sister Mary’s portfolio of London’s parks. With the thermometer at 2°C, it was warm enough for yesterday’s snow to be melting slowly but cold enough to keep me off the roads on my bike. As a result, I girded my loins and did ten very boring miles onContinue reading “Nowhere and somewhere and then some”
