Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He stopped on his way to Morecambe today to walk up a hill in the Lake District and get a very good view of Glenridding. It was a reasonably calm and dry day here today so a bike ride seemed a sensible way to pass the time.Continue reading “Getting about”

Stepping back
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Gavin. He recently spent some time in Wigtown in the west of our region where he watched the tide come in to fill the little harbour. With no noticeable improvement in the state of my chest when I got up this morning, I bit on the bullet, abandonedContinue reading “Stepping back”
A visit to hospital
Today’s guest picture goes to show that the sun continues to shine in East Wemyss. You have to be up at six o’clock in the morning though, as our son Tony was yesterday, if you want to catch views like this. It was a first rate morning for cycling here today, dry, warm and withContinue reading “A visit to hospital”
Creative croaking
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She took my brother Andrew up to Kenwood House in the pursuit of spring colour today. We had recovered enough to go to church to sing with the choir this morning. Although I was a bit croaky, it helped me get some good bass notes in theContinue reading “Creative croaking”
Striking a balance
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He went down to the sea at Portobello this afternoon and found that Fife had disappeared under a cloud. This was an illusion though, as our other son Tony was able to post a picture of the sun shining on his side of the Forth too. WeContinue reading “Striking a balance”
Venturing forth
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. It shows a fine flower that our granddaughter Matilda was given on the occasion of her birthday last month. In a welcome sign of progress, I was able to attend a meeting of TVNR volunteers at the Initiative office this morning. I cycled down and back, andContinue reading “Venturing forth”
He is no better, he is much the same
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She went to visit a friend’s garden where the peonies are in full bloom. A couple of friends had kindly offered to do some shopping for Mrs Tootlepedal and myself as we are still rather poorly, but it was a lovely morning, so I thought that IContinue reading “He is no better, he is much the same”
A trouble shared is a trouble doubled as it turns out.
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He met a lot of traffic as he left East Wemyss for work this morning. Neither of us here was much better this morning, and Mrs Tootlepedal spent most of another day in bed. I was able to get up and fill the bird feeder, which wasContinue reading “A trouble shared is a trouble doubled as it turns out.”
Cold
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It shows that it is apple blossom time in London. Spring retreated here today and we were back to decidedly chilly and unsympathetic weather, with a north easterly wind feeling very unkind if you went out into the garden. This didn’t bother Mrs Tootlepedal as much asContinue reading “Cold”
Nearly carpeted
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She is far from home at the moment, and kindly sent me this study of a meadow on the Greek island of Lesvos. We had a slightly chilly but dry day here, and we needed an extra layer when we cycled to church to sing withContinue reading “Nearly carpeted”
