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”

Dogged determination
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is in Devon at the moment and sent me this nice shot of the bridge at Dulverton. After our clear moonlit night, we woke to a clear sunlit morning, a bit frosty but lovely. I walked up to the town quite early in the day toContinue reading “Dogged determination”
Fleeting moments
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone. He had occasion to visit Talkin Tarn near Brampton last week while on an outing with his oldest son who was visiting him. They didn’t walk round the tarn though. It was still snowing when we went to bed last night, so there was a moment of anticipation whenContinue reading “Fleeting moments”
Turning over an old leaf
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s recent holiday in Malta. He visited St Agatha’s Tower, one of the Lascaris Towers (Maltese: Torrijiet ta’ Lascaris) which are a series of mostly small coastal watchtowers built in Malta by the Order of Saint John between 1637 and 1652. This one has been extensively restored. As well asContinue reading “Turning over an old leaf”
A change of weather and a change of mind
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba. She spotted a good example of a snow angel and liked the careful work involved. We actually had a glimpse of blue sky here as we got up this morning. However, it soon disappeared and I got rained on when I cycled round to the cornerContinue reading “A change of weather and a change of mind”
Mostly dodging the showers
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He spotted this interesting cloud over East Wemyss. We had very variable weather here today with some heavy showers, some very gusty winds, and a bit of sunshine thrown in from time to time. One of the heavy showers came in the morning, but as we wereContinue reading “Mostly dodging the showers”
Up to a point
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It shows our granddaughter Evie leading me across the hill this afternoon. The guest picture takes away quite a lot of the tension that I was hoping to build up regarding whether the weather would lighten up in time to let us get out for a walk.Continue reading “Up to a point”
A toddle and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from sunny East Wemyss. Our son Tony wishes to point that they get the moon there too. We got plenty of sunshine here today, but as the temperature was a measly -5°C at breakfast time, there was no inclination to go outside and do some sunbathing. Mrs Tootlepedal went off toContinue reading “A toddle and a tootle”
Dislegsia
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. He wondered for a moment today if he was seeing a comet streaking across the sky, but it was nothing more exciting than an aeroplane catching the evening light. We had another ten-ten morning here today, 10°C inside the house and -10° outside. AContinue reading “Dislegsia”
A day for soup and a brisk walk
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. In spite of some morning frost, he still had some fine autumn colour to enjoy in Derby today. We had the first really frosty day of the winter today here with the thermometer touching -4°C (25°F) over night and staying below freezing until coffee time. It wasContinue reading “A day for soup and a brisk walk”
