Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Liz. She found an inviting gate at the end of a tunnel this afternoon. Our spell of excellent weather continued today, and I spent a lot of time outside. After breakfast, I opened the greenhouse and did some watering in the vegetable garden. The downside of the goodContinue reading “Under powered”

Two hair cuts
Today’s guest picture, taken by my brother Andrew, shows the old Midland Railway bridge across the river in Derby. The bridge is now used by cyclists and pedestrians. To get the major disappointment of the day out of the way right at the start of this post, my electric bike was not ready to beContinue reading “Two hair cuts”
A different routine
Today’s guest picture from our son Tony shows that the sun shines all day in East Wemyss. In contrast to his usual early dawn shots, this was taken in the late afternoon yesterday. I got organised and did some Archive work after breakfast and left the crossword for later. We had another dry and coolContinue reading “A different routine”
A mystery knee
Today’s guest picture comes from a visit to The Newt by my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She found a fine display of Curcurbitae (gourds to you and me) dangling from a pergola. We had another cool, dry day here, with quite a bit of sunshine until it started to rain in the early evening. It wasn’tContinue reading “A mystery knee”
A fine memorial
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She came up from Portsmouth to meet my other two sisters on the south bank of the Thames for coffee, a catchup and a meal. She took a picture of Waterloo Bridge on her way to meet them. We had to get up and organised quite promptlyContinue reading “A fine memorial”
A slow day
Today’s guest picture comes from Jane, the wife of our ex-minister Scott. They are currently in Menton on the Cote d’Azure where she saw the sun rising over the Italy this morning. I can give Menton no higher praise than by saying it is obviously nearly as good as East Wemyss. Jane remarks that itContinue reading “A slow day”
Small things
Today’s guest picture comes from my Lancashire correspondent Paul who has been visiting the Lake District again. He took this lovely shot of St Cuthbert’s Church at Kentmere. The red sky last night didn’t bring us a sunny day, but it was much brighter and more cheerful than yesterday, and this was very welcome. IContinue reading “Small things”
A long walk and a short cut
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking guide Mark. It shows David and me taking the straight and narrow way on our walk today. As you can see from Mark’s picture, we got a lovely day for our ten mile walk today. It was quite hard work, with some rough ground across the hill asContinue reading “A long walk and a short cut”
A fond farewell
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. He visited the standing stones at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis, and wants us to know that the sun wasn’t shining everywhere in Britain yesterday. The sun certainly was shining here again today, and once again, we felt it sensible to take in the outdoors inContinue reading “A fond farewell”
Growing
Today’s guest picture is another fine dawn dog shot from sunny East Wemyss. Our son Tony gets up very early every working day. If I had got up early, I would have found a misty morning here, but the mist had cleared and it was another sunny day by the time that I emerged. MrsContinue reading “Growing”
