Good judgement
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo, my Manitoba correspondent. She has been house sitting in Hawaii with a friend and enjoying the mellow temperatures. For some reason they didn’t go swimming. We had a definite spring day here today, though it was rather deficient when it came to sunshine. The main thing was thatContinue reading “Good judgement”
A busy day for Mrs Tootlepedal.
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She found the tidal River Axe at a very low ebb when she visited it recently. Temperatures fell just below freezing for several hours overnight here and it was still around zero when we had our breakfast.

Taking things slowly
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She took a trip down to the south bank of the Thames this morning, and then nipped home again before it got too hot. It was another bright sunny day here, with temperatures set to rise to 27°C in the afternoon. I had a wild scheme inContinue reading “Taking things slowly”
Cloudy vision
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan who found some flying birds indoors. She met these bronze choughs while having coffee at Kings Place in London.

Found
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She noticed this ferocious looking bird while on a walk from her home to collect her car from the garage.
