Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It is a riposte to Mary’s painted swan picture yesterday. It was seen in a shop window. The forecast was for a really horrible day so I was quite pleased that was merely a nasty wet day with some dry spells. Mrs Tootlepedal wasn’t pleased at all,Continue reading “Yet more rain and another wet walk”

On the edge
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother Andrew who takes a lot of good photographs on his walks. This shows the Derby Museum of Making on a peaceful day last week. After a very windy day yesterday, we had a pleasantly calm day today. It was chilly but dry as I walked over theContinue reading “On the edge”
A bridge too far
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend and ex-work colleague Ada. She has been on Tenerife and sent me this atmospheric picture of the Tiede Volcanic National Park there. We had another day here that was better than we might have expected from the forecast of a few days ago, generally cloudy and quite breezy,Continue reading “A bridge too far”
Hello and goodbye to the sunshine
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Mike Tinker. It shows the view from their cottage of Loch Feochan near Oban which he and Alison enjoyed during their recent holiday. The morning started off rather gloomily as far as the weather went but it was brightened up by the arrival of Dropscone, armed both withContinue reading “Hello and goodbye to the sunshine”
The weather gods have a laugh
Today’s guest picture reminds me that I shouldn’t complain about our weather too much. Blog reader Terena sent me this picture of current conditions in southern Saskatchewan. There was no sign of snow here but there was plenty of rain about. The forecast was for sunshine and showers and we hoped to find a gapContinue reading “The weather gods have a laugh”
Visitors
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He is on his travels again and visited Lincoln recently. We had a warm and pleasant day here today, with only a brief flurry of rain to make us nervous. We were expecting visitors so while Mrs Tootlepedal baked a cake, I swept the paths in theContinue reading “Visitors”
Occasionally useful
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She recently went out with a group of fungus hunters in Stockhill Woods near Wells. We had a much better day here than yesterday, dry all day and with a very occasional glimpse of the sun. We have got visitors coming to stay with us forContinue reading “Occasionally useful”
A pin drop
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. A few days ago, he was walking round the path on the Castleholm created when Ty Pennington came to Langholm some years ago. After several days suffering from the effects of Atlantic low pressure, our weather took a turn for the better today when a small ridgeContinue reading “A pin drop”
Singing and walking
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s visit to Orkney. He met a very upstanding stone. We had a sunny but slightly chilly day here. I filled the feeder early in the morning and two goldfinches appeared to sample the seed. There was a rather threatening cloud as we cycled to church, but it had disappearedContinue reading “Singing and walking”
Biscuits, cows and cycling
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo’s visit to British Columbia. She passed these magnificent sandstone cliffs called The Hoodoos on her way home. After overnight rain, we woke to a rather miserable wet morning here, but it was still warm enough to keep the colour in the garden. It was the sort of dayContinue reading “Biscuits, cows and cycling”
