Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. He took this delightful ‘light and shade’ shot across the valley from Warbla yesterday while he was having a late afternoon stroll with his wife, Leila. We had another very pleasant day here today as far as the weather went, and the events of the dayContinue reading “A satisfying day”

A tootle but no pedal
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. He was sitting at the window of a cafe in Longtown counting the number of wheels on a passing wagon’s trailer as one does (16 as it happens) when he was struck by this coat of arms on the pull down side of another passing vehicle. ThereContinue reading “A tootle but no pedal”
Taking the biscuit
Today’s guest picture comes from Mike Tinker. He and Alison are just back from a golden wedding holiday in Oban. Mike spotted these colourful fungi on one of their outings. We had a better day of weather than we expected here today, with light winds and no rain. This was lucky as we were dueContinue reading “Taking the biscuit”

It was decidedly autumnal here today, with a chill in the air when we got up. Both Sandy and Margaret remarked on the need for warm clothing when they arrived atContinue reading “Flying off the handle”

It was raining in a rather discouraging way when we got up this morning, and it kept at it until midday. Under the circumstances, we had a quiet morning in, brightened byContinue reading “A day of two halves”

We had a warm, sunny and breezy day here today. As we were singing in two choirs, morning and afternoon, we didn’t getContinue reading “Singing and gardening”
Mrs Tootlepedal cuts the mustard
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan who was able not long ago to have a cup of coffee on the banks of the same canal along which my sister Mary recently walked….with added geese. We had a very tolerable day here with light winds, occasional sunshine and a temperature that made sitting outContinue reading “Mrs Tootlepedal cuts the mustard”
A change of scene
Today’s guest picture was sent to me by my sister Mary. She was joined by a jackdaw for breakfast at Kenwood House, but it came too late as she had cleared her plate. The forecast was for rain in the afternoon so I might, if I had been energetic and well organised, gone out forContinue reading “A change of scene”
