Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She enjoyed a very sunny day in Regents Park when she went for a game of tennis yesterday. We had another day of wall to wall sunshine here, and though it was pleasantly cool after breakfast, it had got a bit too hot (25°C) for total comfortContinue reading “Varied choral experiences”

Onegesius makes a brief appearance
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who recently added to his fine swan gallery. It wasn’t freezing this morning but the recent run of chilly nights had been too much for our long suffering magnolia. It was a very sad sight. Mrs Tootlepedal was slightly better this morning, probably because she had managedContinue reading “Onegesius makes a brief appearance”
A song, a stroll and a song
Today’s guest picture comes from Venetia. She has been visiting my sister Mary, and took a picture to show what Mary does in Regents Park when she isn’t taking the photographs that often appear here as guest pictures. We had a generally sunny, but rather chilly day here, and we needed a coat as weContinue reading “A song, a stroll and a song”
Up on the moor, down at the river
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s oldest son who now lives in Devon. He took this picture of people taking dressing up very seriously at a local festival. We had a day that started out wet and grey, and continued in that vein until the evening, when it brightened up just late enough to beContinue reading “Up on the moor, down at the river”
Very quiet
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce who is over in the east. He visited Chillingham castle and found a display of McLaren cars. I would have loved cars like this when I was young but now they just look difficult to get in to and impossible to get out of. We had aContinue reading “Very quiet”
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”
More train strain
Today’s very appropriate guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He not only photographed this Halloween lantern but also carved it himself and grew the plant too. A man of many talents. We had another in our run of frosty mornings but dry days today and after coffee, I went out for a walk withContinue reading “More train strain”
A bit of bad timing
Today’s guest post comes from my brother’s latest group walk. They covered eight miles with enough climbing to offer some fine views like this one over the village of Crich. It was another day of frequent heavy rain showers and brisk winds here, and we chickened out and drove the few hundred yards to theContinue reading “A bit of bad timing”
Not a leg to stand on
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce who was heading to Oban on the west coast today when he came upon this overfull river at Callander. We got a better day here today with occasional brief sunny spells and no rain so we were grateful for that. We didn’t make much use of itContinue reading “Not a leg to stand on”
A day in the country
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She went down to the Thames a week or so ago to catch a boat and spent so much time taking its picture that she almost missed it. We had another warm, grey, damp morning today but it wasn’t raining and I was able to take a lookContinue reading “A day in the country”
