Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan, She met a new friend, Gertrude, on one of her recent outings. We were promised a windy day here today, and we got one. Luckily it was also mainly dry and not too cold so it wasn’t a bad day on the whole. It didn’t encourage goingContinue reading “Going completely nuts”

Getting my goat
With another grey day on hand here, I needed colour for my guest picture of the day, so I was happy to look in my files and find this portrait of Tony’s dog Milo enjoying the sunshine in East Wemyss not long ago. There was a sprinkling of snow of the tops of the hillsContinue reading “Getting my goat”
Heavy rain
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. One of his sons took him on a walk to visit this church at Bredon on the Hill yesterday. I found another inch and a half of rain in our rain gauge when I got up and had a look today. Not content with that, it rainedContinue reading “Heavy rain”
I’m going to need an ark if this goes on
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo from Manitoba. She is not in Manitoba at the moment, having left her -15 degree temperatures there for the roasting air of Queensland, Australia where she met these Boer cross doeling goats. It was so gloomy here, after another night of wind and rain, that we had toContinue reading “I’m going to need an ark if this goes on”
Blown away
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It shows all the cakes that he and my sister Susan didn’t eat when they visited a garden centre cafe. They are both models of restraint. I was woken in the middle of the night by a tremendous rattling on the windows, and thinking it was anotherContinue reading “Blown away”
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”
A sunny afternoon and an evening of enjoyable misery
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s recent Highland tour. He and his daughter came upon an art deco tidal swimming pool near Banff. They didn’t go for a dip though as it was closed. Money is being found for repairs so maybe next time? I woke to a heavy cold and some heavy rain toContinue reading “A sunny afternoon and an evening of enjoyable misery”
Every little helps
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Sue who sent me this shot of a Christmas visitor to her bird feeders. Either my eyes are getting dimmer (and my camera’s sensor too) or the cloudy days are getting greyer and greyer. It was a really miserable day today with very little light filtering through fromContinue reading “Every little helps”
Boxing clever
Today’s guest pictures come from my elder sisters’ Christmas visit to my younger brother. As you can see, like all old people today, they are obsessed with technology and traditional games like charades have flown out of the window. After yesterday’s glut of eating and walking, Mrs Tootlepedal and I took things more easily todayContinue reading “Boxing clever”
