Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. With all that dog walking going on, the household wellies need somewhere to have a good rest when they get home. Our wintery weather continued with the temperature in low single figures all day. We had been threatened with snow but got occasional sunny spells interrupted byContinue reading “Foot and mouth or parking and parkin”

ENT-ertainment
Today’s guest picture comes from ex-archive group member Ken, who now lives in the north east. He spotted a mother gull teaching her children where food comes from if people are careless enough to overfill their bins. We had a dry, often sunny but breezy day today and I might have gone for a pedalContinue reading “ENT-ertainment”
The ageing process
Today’s guest picture, sent to me by my friend Bruce, shows that Langholm has two experienced hole inspectors. Here the results of recent heavy rain were under examination. The wind had finally exhausted itself and we woke to a picture perfect day. Well, nearly picture perfect as there were signs of frost in the gardenContinue reading “The ageing process”
Making the most of it
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She took a trip down the river in glorious weather to visit the newly refurbished Queen’s House at Greenwich. We had another fine, calm day here, below freezing at the start and never getting very warm in spite of the sunshine. I didn’t have the chance toContinue reading “Making the most of it”
All clear
The high spot of the day is captured in the guest photo which shows Dropscone on the summit of Ben Nevis in glorious weather. He reports that going up was a breeze compared with the pain of going back down and I can quite believe that but he got up and down successfully and getsContinue reading “All clear”
No kneed to worry
Today’s post will be briefish as in the absence of Mr Tootlepedal, the blog has been entrusted to the Tootlepedal editorial team and frankly managing to get photos from the photo library onto this blog post is a bit of a triumph. Team Tootlepedal were up before dawn had cracked in any way, and afterContinue reading “No kneed to worry”
Hard to imagine a better day
Today’s picture shows a lovely sunny day in Langholm this morning… …so needless to say, we had made a plan to leave the town as soon as possible. This meant an early visit to the producers’ market to stock up on fish, cheese and venison mince followed by a rendezvous with Sandy at Wauchope Cottage. Continue reading “Hard to imagine a better day”
Caerlaverock visit
Today’s picture is of a brood of young swallows that we saw when we were filling up with diesel at Langholm. They will have to grow up quickly if they are going to make it south. Note to those interested: I am doing this blog on my old computer which has meant that I can’tContinue reading “Caerlaverock visit”
