Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce who met an ugly customer when he was walking in the woods today. We were blessed with a genuine summer day here, warm from start to finish, and with plenty of sunshine to be going on with. I took advantage of the good weather to put aContinue reading “Two short walks”

A higher purpose
Today’s guest picture comes from a walk my sister Mary took through the rose garden in Regents Park last week. Our unsettled weather continued here today with the morning peppered with short showers, some of them quite sharp with a little hail thrown in. This curtailed our street coffee meeting and kept gardening to aContinue reading “A higher purpose”
Walk on
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He was walking his dogs when he came upon this artful construction on the beach. Our spell of sunny weather continued today, together with a gusty and cool wind from the east. It got a lot warmer in the afternoon though. The day started with the crosswordContinue reading “Walk on”
Service not included
Guess whose birthday it was today. Guest picture courtesy of her mother Clare. Finding things to do in the lockdown is tricky. Mrs Tootlepedal decided to put a stone edge on one of her garden paths today. I had a couple of important things on my to do list today, take the Zoe to CarlisleContinue reading “Service not included”
Up and about
Today’s guest picture is another from Dropscone’s Northumbrian holiday. It shows his daughter and granddaughter on their way to visit the castle on Holy island. It was sunny here, the wind had dropped, the cattle had been taken off Meikleholm Hill, and it was a perfect day for a walk up a hill. So IContinue reading “Up and about”
Missed opportunity
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce who was out walking his dogs this morning. Bruce took his photograph at half past eleven this morning when, as you can see, it was misty on the Castleholm. I had looked out of the window after breakfast and only seen sunshine and frost but when IContinue reading “Missed opportunity”
A night out
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony in East Wemyss, the land of eternal sunshine. It is not the sharpest picture that he has ever taken, but I thought that it was unusual enough to fill the guest spot. We had a cool but sunny day here. The temperature was near enough toContinue reading “A night out”
A toddle, a pedal and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from Tony. He was impressed by the power of some ivy which he found eating a castle turret. I had a day neatly divided into three parts with a wide variety of weather to experience. My day started when I crossed the suspension bridge in grey, slightly misty conditions. I hadContinue reading “A toddle, a pedal and a tootle”
Hail smiling morn
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who started the new year by visiting the strangely named Locko Park where he met a fine lake. Our year here started with a brilliantly sunny but rather chilly day. I would have liked to have taken part in the eight mile walk/run event that starts theContinue reading “Hail smiling morn”
Learning my lesson
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone who was at the Roxburghe Golf course when he came across a reminder of the strong winds that battered us last month. There was a brisk wind here today but not as brisk as the one that had knocked that tree to bits. I had time for a quickContinue reading “Learning my lesson”
