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”

Progress
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone, who instead of having coffee with me yesterday, played golf. He tells me that his form was like the weather, rather patchy. Still the view from Langholm Golf Course is always good, no matter how indifferent the golf is. After a slightly better night, we settled for an extremelyContinue reading “Progress”
Fooled by the forecast
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. I said that she had seen azaleas at Kenwood in yesterday’s post but I wasn’t paying attention. She had visited the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park, where she also saw this pretty stream. Mrs Tootlepedal had put the trail camera out overnight, and when we checked inContinue reading “Fooled by the forecast”
Pedalling and shopping
Today’s guest picture shows a sunny early morning in East Wemyss. Our son Tony was out with his dogs this morning. After yesterday’s sunshine and snow, both were in short supply today as we went back to grey here. It was dry though and there was no ice about, so we were able to cycleContinue reading “Pedalling and shopping”
Turning over an old leaf
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s recent holiday in Malta. He visited St Agatha’s Tower, one of the Lascaris Towers (Maltese: Torrijiet ta’ Lascaris) which are a series of mostly small coastal watchtowers built in Malta by the Order of Saint John between 1637 and 1652. This one has been extensively restored. As well asContinue reading “Turning over an old leaf”
Frost and mist
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He and my sister Mary visited Kings Place in London this morning and found the canal looking resplendent in the brilliant sunshine. By contrast, we had another frosty morning here (-3°C when we got up) without any compensating sunshine to cheer us up. The wind was lightContinue reading “Frost and mist”
Subdued colours
Today’s long and thin guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who is in London at the moment. He passed by the Shard, an extremely tall building, but claimed that he couldn’t see the point of it. Although the temperature was comfortably above freezing today, it wasn’t a very welcoming day, being grey again andContinue reading “Subdued colours”
A niggle keeps me in
I looked in my files for a guest photo today and found this fine sunset in Worcester, SA, sent to me just before Christmas by Langholm exile Tom. It was another day here with neither a visible sunrise nor much of a sunset as it was grey all day. It was warm for the timeContinue reading “A niggle keeps me in”
Hunting the hugger
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It shows the sparkly cloak that our granddaughter Evie was wearing today. Some children have all the luck We had a very far from sparkling day here today. The weather varied between grey and very grey, not quite drizzling and actually drizzling. On the plus side, itContinue reading “Hunting the hugger”
A hint of spring?
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She went down to the Thames for a walk yesterday and found a display of sitting gulls in front of Blackfriars Station on the bridge. We had another grey and chilly day here, with a north westerly breeze making sure that we didn’t get too excited byContinue reading “A hint of spring?”
