Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew and shows two views of the town of Boston in Lincolnshire. It was another hot day here today, with our local weather station recording 29°C, and our friends Mike and Alison Tinker saying that their garden thermometer got up to 30°. We took the day at aContinue reading “Intent”

Afternoon tea in the garden
The guest picture of the day comes from our son Tony. It proves that there are many shades of green in East Wemyss as well as in Langholm. Today’s post starts with an anomaly, a picture taken yesterday. As it was taken at a quarter to midnight, I hope that that explains why it didn’tContinue reading “Afternoon tea in the garden”

It is called Crazy Crane. I don’t think it is getting enough to eat. After our hot and humid day yesterday,Continue reading “Fairly calm after the storm”
