Today’s guest picture comes from ex archive group member Ken. He was rather unimpressed by this reservoir in Central Park, New York, but I think that I have probably seen it looking better on sunnier days in several films. We had a stark contrast in the weather today here after yesterday’s glorious sunshine. It rainedContinue reading “Mistified again”

Ducks here and there
Today’s guest picture comes from my recorder playing friend Susan. She took a picture of her father, Dennis (a.ka. Dropscone) walking in an ancient stone circle, part of the Eskdale Prehistoric Trail. He looks quite at home there. Mrs Tootlepedal and I both felt quite ancient today after getting home from Edinburgh at one o’clockContinue reading “Ducks here and there”
A surprise for Mrs Tootlepedal
Today’s guest picture comes from Portsmouth where my sister Caroline spotted this fine magnolia. I got up early this morning and was pleased to find that it was a fine day. Fine days are always welcome but this one was especially welcome as our older son Tony drove all the way down from East WemyssContinue reading “A surprise for Mrs Tootlepedal”
A damp squib
Today’s guest picture comes from my Manitoba correspondent Mary Jo. Wide awake readers looking at the picture will probably realise that she is not currently in Manitoba. She is house sitting on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii and this was her breakfast view. She tells me that it’s a tough job but that someone hasContinue reading “A damp squib”
A change in the weather
Today’s guest picture comes from my Canonbie friend Simon. He is working at the Belfry golf course at the moment, and sent me this pleasant view of a place where you definitely don’t want to put your golf ball. After another chilly night, we woke to another dry day here. It was cloudier than recentContinue reading “A change in the weather”
Thin singing
Today’s guest picture comes from my Welsh correspondent, Keiron. He parked his bike on a smart new bridge over the River Neath at Cwmgwrach. We had a dry but grey morning, and as Mrs Tootlepedal is not throwing her persistent cold off, we had a very quiet morning in. Outside though, the birds were goingContinue reading “Thin singing”
Breaking the barrier
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony who spotted the navy sailing up the Forth yesterday. Another frost free night here was followed by a dry morning with a reasonable, but not jacket shedding temperature. As we had things to do in the afternoon, I went off for a fairly early cycle ride. BecauseContinue reading “Breaking the barrier”
Moss mayhem
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She came across this very elegant bench on a visit to Kenwood House in London. After what is supposed to be the last of a long series of cold nights, we got another cold morning with added rain. However, as I write this in the evening, theContinue reading “Moss mayhem”
An adventure
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found a really lovely patch of bluebells on his walk today. We had anther chilly night here which only just stayed above freezing, and it stayed pretty cold in the morning. The forecast suggested changeable weather all day but offered a dry spell after breakfast forContinue reading “An adventure”
A subdued day
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She found some lovely blossom on a sunny walk in Regents Park. In contrast to that, we had a very subdued day here. It wasn’t frosty overnight but it was still cold and grey when we got up, and it stayed that way all day. There wasContinue reading “A subdued day”
