Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. He had two spectators for his walk with his dogs this morning. We had another day of calm, fine weather here today, so it was a natural thought that some cycling might be in order. I even got organised enough to get going beforeContinue reading “Getting there”

It turned out nice
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who was doing a little bird watching in the museum in Derby recently. We had a rather cool and windy start to our day, but it was dry. Dropscone was able to cycle round bringing scones to enjoy with our coffee, and after coffee, I was ableContinue reading “It turned out nice”
Chancing my luck
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Mike. He and his wife Alison are visiting family in New Zealand. He sent me this picture to show the sort of thing his son has to put up with in his garden at this at this time of year. The weather gods welcomed us home with rainContinue reading “Chancing my luck”
A Tootlepedal day
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother Andrew. He is still in London helping to sort out my sister’s affairs. He found time for a trip along the Thames today. It froze over night here but the temperature soon rose above freezing as the morning went on. It didn’t show any enthusiasm for actuallyContinue reading “A Tootlepedal day”
A misty pedal
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother Andrew who is staying in London to help my sister Mary for a while. Our other sister Caroline joined them today. Andrew took this picture of Hawley Lock at Camden on a sunny but chilly day in the south. The temperature crept up a degree or twoContinue reading “A misty pedal”
A shady friend
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found some Egyptian geese in the grounds of Nottingham University today. He thought that they looked as though they were pining for a bit of Egyptian warmth on a day of biting wind. We had a dry morning here but it was quite chilly too atContinue reading “A shady friend”
A much better use of some sunshine
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair who has visited his local park. It shows that Mr Grumpy’s relatives are branching out in Edinburgh. After some heavy overnight rain, it was a relief to wake up to a dull but dry morning today, with the temperature well above freezing. In these dark days atContinue reading “A much better use of some sunshine”
Logjam
Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Simon. When he was on a walk last week, he found that the Fairy Loup waterfall had frozen solid. It was a fairly miserable 2 degrees Celsius when we got up today, but the day stayed dry and the temperature rose gently towards 5 degrees inContinue reading “Logjam”
A pedal at last
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. It shows the handsome church where both she and my sister Mary read lessons at a carol service last Sunday. After our unusually warm day yesterday, temperatures came down to a more normal December level and the thermometer hung around at about 6°C all day. It didn’tContinue reading “A pedal at last”
Seriously deflated
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She found this charming table decoration when she went for a cup of coffee while shopping this morning. According to the old saying, a red sky at night should be a shepherd’s delight, and our hopes for a bright day after yesterday’s good sunset were realised asContinue reading “Seriously deflated”
