Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She was rather taken by the Dior decorations on the front of Harrods as she passed by the famous shop on her way to an exhibition today. I suppose that they do sum up the modern spirit of Christmas rather well. The change to cooler weather arrivedContinue reading “Zooming about”

On a roll
Today’s guest picture cones from our son Alistair in Edinburgh. He thought that this goose in his local park was looking rather noble. We woke up to a warm and pleasant day after some heavy rain showers overnight. I didn’t rush about after breakfast, and was happy to wait to show any noticeable signs ofContinue reading “On a roll”
Loopy and crackers
After yesterday’s sunny seascape from East Wemyss, I have gone to the other side of the weather and the other end of the country today. My sister Caroline took this study of the rolling seas off Southsea on a very grey day. After the persistent rain here yesterday, it was a relief to wake upContinue reading “Loopy and crackers”

There is some debate as to whether they are dogs or polar bears. All trace of snow and ice has gone here, and we had another reasonably warm day. Unfortunately, a briskContinue reading “Senior moment”

The strong winds of yesterday continued overnight and were still blowing this morning so I was happy to stay in and welcome Dropscone for a cup ofContinue reading “A scone with a story”
Springing backwards
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce who visited Denholm on a recent sunny day and took this picture of the Leyden memorial. (If Denholm looks familiar to attentive blog readers, it is because I have been to two recorder playing days there.) Mrs Tootlepedal’s plans to get up early and do some gardeningContinue reading “Springing backwards”
More faltering steps
Today’s guest picture is a small bridge across one of the ditches on the River Derwent flood plain that my brother crossed on his walk. The low sun ensured that his shadow never got far away from him! (I am open for new guest pictures.) We had a slightly colder and slightly greyer day todayContinue reading “More faltering steps”
