Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He headed north to Penrith today and stopped at the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle for a lunch break. It didn’t get as cold overnight as had been feared, but it was still a chilly morning with a keen north westerly wind when we got up. IContinue reading “Spotters spotted”

Striking a balance
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He went down to the sea at Portobello this afternoon and found that Fife had disappeared under a cloud. This was an illusion though, as our other son Tony was able to post a picture of the sun shining on his side of the Forth too. WeContinue reading “Striking a balance”
A domestic day
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She looked out of her window recently and found a visitor doing some sunbathing in her garden. We had another dry day here today, not quite warm enough to sit outside to have coffee with Margaret in the morning, but warm enough by noon for the gardenersContinue reading “A domestic day”
Better than expected
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. I never tire of his East Wemyss scenes, and I am grateful that he gets up early to walk his dogs before going to work. This one was taken at 5.45 am on Tuesday. Unlike Tony, I don’t leap up in the morning, and for theContinue reading “Better than expected”
A rousing start and a quiet finish
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She got a lift down to the seaside today and enjoyed this view across to Hayling Island. It was a relatively warm day here today, and it was fine as we cycled round to church after an early breakfast. The reason for the prompt start was aContinue reading “A rousing start and a quiet finish”
Two good sings and more good signs
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Gavin. Taken exactly 12 years ago to the day, his picture shows Mrs Tootlepedal and Gavin’s granddaughter, Hannah hunting for frogs when they both were young. We had dry and calm weather when we cycled to church to sing with the church choir this morning. Choir numbers (7)Continue reading “Two good sings and more good signs”
Push and pull
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s niece Hilary. She rode the 130km route in the ‘Dirty Reiver’, a gravel bike event at Kielder. I take my hat off to her. We woke to another dry, fairly calm, rather chilly, and occasionally sunny day here. When the sun was out, it felt warm, but when theContinue reading “Push and pull”
Levelling up
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She took this peaceful canal scene today just to show the rest of her family that she had been out and about. The forecast was right, and it was a bit cooler today than the past two days. However, it was only a bit cooler, and asContinue reading “Levelling up”
Tremendously sociable
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She was playing tennis in Regents Park again yesterday, and couldn’t help noticing that the park gardeners have been busy. We had another below zero morning (-1°C, 29°F) followed by a fine day here. We hardly had time to notice the weather though, as we were theContinue reading “Tremendously sociable”
A stake in the future
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew in Derby. He thinks that it must be spring because the council have put up a bouncy castle at the boating pond. As it was below freezing when we got up today, spring was on hold for a bit here, but it was bright and sunny andContinue reading “A stake in the future”
