Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan, She met a new friend, Gertrude, on one of her recent outings. We were promised a windy day here today, and we got one. Luckily it was also mainly dry and not too cold so it wasn’t a bad day on the whole. It didn’t encourage goingContinue reading “Going completely nuts”

Two reds on a grey day
Today’s guest picture is the fourth and last from my Somerset correspondent Venetia’s visit to Hestercombe Grdens near Taunton last month. We had another damp, grey and windy day here, with several quite heavy showers to keep us on our toes. I managed to find a nearly dry moment to get round to the cornerContinue reading “Two reds on a grey day”
A bit of this and a bit of that
Today’s guest picture comes from my Lancashire correspondent Paul. He is on holiday in the Lake District and had a splendid day today for enjoying views of the Kentmere Fells. My plan for the day, which involved enjoying wall to wall sunshine, coffee with Sandy and a mid length cycle ride, was an excellent planContinue reading “A bit of this and a bit of that”
Another slab, another stroll
Today’s guest picture comes from Canada where Mary Jo had two visitors. She tells me that they were huge, noisy, and regarded traffic (including a semi on the avenue at the end of the street) with total disdain. We had a day with plusses and minuses as far as the weather went. It was generallyContinue reading “Another slab, another stroll”
Loopy and crackers
After yesterday’s sunny seascape from East Wemyss, I have gone to the other side of the weather and the other end of the country today. My sister Caroline took this study of the rolling seas off Southsea on a very grey day. After the persistent rain here yesterday, it was a relief to wake upContinue reading “Loopy and crackers”
A (small) drop of golden sun
Today’s guest picture comes by way of my friend and fellow church choir member Anne. Her friend Mary Jane from New York spotted this hawk having a quiet sit down on a park bench and kindly sent the picture to her. There was a moment after breakfast when the sun came out. Since we hadContinue reading “A (small) drop of golden sun”
Cool walking
Today’s guest picture shows a real trouper from Manitoba. Lucie sent the picture to me and tells me that on the day that she took it, Manitoba was at -8c, and the little pansy was still going strong despite having been covered in four inches of snow and suffering several below freezing days We had anotherContinue reading “Cool walking”
Dry run
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother’s Spanish jaunt and shows the very impressive public library in Gijon. They obviously take libraries seriously there. We had another rainy day today but by way of a change after yesterday’s drizzle, today we had several sharp showers with breaks in between, and even an occasional rayContinue reading “Dry run”
Up and down
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone. He sent it to me to show that his daughter Susan is not just a fine recorder player but a good cook too. This is her beef Wellington. We had another warm and dry December day here but the 35 mph wind in the morning was a forcible reminderContinue reading “Up and down”
The calm before the storm
Today’s guest picture is another from my sister Mary’s sunny visit to Bath. We got up to another grey and miserable morning here although once again it was unseasonably mild. Mrs Tootlepedal is partially recovered but by no means back to full working order. She is very touched by the good wishes expressed by readersContinue reading “The calm before the storm”
