Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She and my brother Andrew visited Ghent today. Mary makes the most of living near the Eurostar terminal in London. We had a fine day today, and if you could keep out of the north wind, it felt like spring. It was a morning of Margarets, asContinue reading “A spring in our step”

Hitting the heights
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found his local museum looking very jolly this evening as he came home from a Maundy Evening Eucharist at the Cathedral. We had that welcome thing today, a day that was better than the weather forecast had suggested. While my brother and sisters in the southContinue reading “Hitting the heights”
Upwind, downwind
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother Andrew’s recent visit to London. He found the River Thames at a low ebb. We had another dry day here after a little overnight rain. It was grey but not particularly chilly, so we were able to get out into the garden before coffee. The task ofContinue reading “Upwind, downwind”
There is never a panda about when you need one
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. In spite of some very rainy weather recently, her hyacinths were looking magnificent today in some welcome sunshine in Southsea. We had some welcome sunshine here too today. We didn’t get over excited though, and let the day creep gently towards us, rather than rushing out toContinue reading “There is never a panda about when you need one”
Following in my own footsteps
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited the British Museum for an exhibition today. It was even colder this morning here than it had been yesterday, with the roofers saying that their van thermometer had registered -10°C as they drove across to start work on putting new slates on our roof. I wiselyContinue reading “Following in my own footsteps”
A real step up
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. The place where he is currently working doesn’t just have views of odd architecture, it has interesting wildlife too. It was chilly here today, but it was above freezing when we got up. We are in for a spell of cold weather though, and it isContinue reading “A real step up”
Hitting the heights
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She found herself in a very upmarket Cafe Nero in Taunton on a visit to the town with my Somerset correspondent Venetia earlier this week. We had a lovely sunny day here today, with the down side being near freezing temperatures when we got up, and matchingContinue reading “Hitting the heights”
An up and down day
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. The recent flooding got to within 200m of her garden. We had a quiet start here to a quiet and dry day. After breakfast, I went to the local producers’ market in the Buccleuch Centre and came home laden with fish, cheese, soap, interesting bread flourContinue reading “An up and down day”
Hit and miss
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. It definitely gets my seal of approval. It was another cool showery day here today. We were able to cycle sedately to church in the dry, but we had to scuttle home to avoid getting too wet. After coffee, we were easily tempted toContinue reading “Hit and miss”
Spotters spotted
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”
