Feeling powerful

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. All was sunny today in East Wemyss to say the least. The temperature here had dropped to just about freezing overnight, but it had started to rise before we got up, so we were able to ignore that, and pretend it was another spring day. This becameContinue reading “Feeling powerful”

A spring in our step

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She and my brother Andrew visited Ghent today. Mary makes the most of living near the Eurostar terminal in London. We had a fine day today, and if you could keep out of the north wind, it felt like spring. It was a morning of Margarets, asContinue reading “A spring in our step”

A better day

Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She found this lovely bridge on a walk in Devon where she was on holiday As the forecast for the afternoon looked a lot better than it did for the morning, we made the best of the day by going to a supermarket in Annan before lunch.Continue reading “A better day”

A flat day

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He noticed an elegant culvert today which he has walked past many times without noticing before. We had a day with some warm and pleasant sunshine, but it also had several showers spaced out to cause maximum inconvenience for a would be cyclist. As a result, IContinue reading “A flat day”

Dogged determination

Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is in Devon at the moment and sent me this nice shot of the bridge at Dulverton. After our clear moonlit night, we woke to a clear sunlit morning, a bit frosty but lovely. I walked up to the town quite early in the day toContinue reading “Dogged determination”

It turned out nice

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who was doing a little bird watching in the museum in Derby recently. We had a rather cool and windy start to our day, but it was dry. Dropscone was able to cycle round bringing scones to enjoy with our coffee, and after coffee, I was ableContinue reading “It turned out nice”

Diverted by cows

Today’s scenic guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. Although it looks peaceful enough, he tells me that the wind was blowing so strongly that he literally had to hold on to his hat as he crossed the stream. We had quite a windy day here too, and it was grey and occasionally rainy. IContinue reading “Diverted by cows”

A long cut and a short cut

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She walked along this avenue of blossom in Regents Park on her way to play tennis on Saturday. It was nearly 8°C by breakfast time here today, but our joy was not unconfined as it was also grey and windy with the occasional hint of rain. MrsContinue reading “A long cut and a short cut”

A stake in the future

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew in Derby. He thinks that it must be spring because the council have put up a bouncy castle at the boating pond. As it was below freezing when we got up today, spring was on hold for a bit here, but it was bright and sunny andContinue reading “A stake in the future”

Changeable weather

Today’s guest picture comes from Michael, a long time friend of our son Tony. Just to show that he can take seaside pictures too, he sent me this fine study of a bridge next to the sea near Rockliffe on the Solway coast where he was today. We had another very chilly night. Mrs TootlepedalContinue reading “Changeable weather”
