Today’s guest picture comes from my Welsh correspondent Keiron. This is one of his cycling routes. I had a topsy turvy day today. Since lockdown started two years ago, I have got into the habit of having a quiet morning in, usually with the newspapers, the crossword and some sociable coffee, and then trying toContinue reading “Waiting for the car”

More singing, but not in the rain
In the absence of other contributors, I return again to the sunny shores of East Wemyss for today’s guest picture. Tony has included some ingeniously piled stones in his picture of the sunrise there this morning. We had a quiet and dry morning here, and we were able to cycle to church to sing inContinue reading “More singing, but not in the rain”
In Haydn
Today’s guest picture is another of my brother’s Derby insects. He suspects that the face of this grasshopper might have been modelled on our prime minister after recent events. We finally got a reasonably calm and occasionally sunny morning today and as it was a good day for gardening, it was almost inevitable that MrsContinue reading “In Haydn”
A musical cure
Today’s guest picture is a cheery looking cottage with a rather mournful sign. My friend Bruce visited it in the village of Eyam in the Derbyshire dales. Our spell of grey, cold and windy weather continued today and as I woke up with a pain in my side which had come from who knows whereContinue reading “A musical cure”

It is a rather brief post today as everything in the garden was very soggy after some heavy overnight rain… …and we had to have anContinue reading “Tea in the park with Mrs Tootlepedal”
With a song and a smile
Today’s guest picture shows a pool at the Shining Cliff Woods near Matlock. My brother paused there for lunch while out with his walking group. We had another fine and frosty morning but I didn’t have a great deal of time to enjoy it as there was a stew to make for the slow cookerContinue reading “With a song and a smile”
Cathedral concert
Today’s guest picture shows a view of the River Trent near Swarkestone Bridge. My brother Andrew took the shot while out with his walking group. The wind was in the process of moving round from east to west today but it did it very gently and gave us a wonderfully sunny autumn morning on theContinue reading “Cathedral concert”
Hopeful
Today’s guest picture comes from Gavin, one of my neighbours, who wonders whether having the builders in can have caused this overnight outbreak of toadstools on his lawn. I would be more worried about what has been taking the great bites out of them. Dropscone came round with some scones in hand to have aContinue reading “Hopeful”
