Today’s guest picture comes from my Oregon correspondent Gunta. The weather eased off enough recently to allow for a little canoeing in the creek below her house. We woke to gusty winds and some heavy rain showers. The wind kept going all day but the rain had the good manners to pack it in inContinue reading “Hey, ho, the wind and the rain”

The sign says it all
The guest picture pf the day comes from my ex-colleague Marjorie who is on a toot in the Highlands and came across a well known road sign. It is famous enough to have figured in a TV quiz show last week. The sign made an excellent guest picture today as it was an exceptionally dullContinue reading “The sign says it all”
Going nuts
Today’s guest picture from Bruce got a little closer to the horse in the field. There turned out to be two of them. The forecast was right and we had another sunny day but it was even colder than yesterday and struggled to get above 3°C all day. Mrs Tootlepedal and I gave up anyContinue reading “Going nuts”
A good decision
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother’s recent peregrinations. He passed the south door of York Minster on his travels. I was slightly annoyed to find that I was no better when I woke up this morning. If anything, I was a little worse. My throat was better and I had stopped sounding like aContinue reading “A good decision”
An outing
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother who has recently visited Whitby and took this excellent picture of the town. We were promised a nice day today and although it had rained again over night, it wasn’t a bad morning even though it was cloudy and rather chilly again. I was in no rush toContinue reading “An outing”
Slow going
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who found a wonderful display of crocuses on a visit to Parliament Hill Fields.

A little light headed

After yesterday’s very dank and gloomy weather, it was a relief to wake up to some friendly sunshine this morning. As it was combined with reasonable temperatures,Continue reading “A little light headed”
Get up and gone
Today’s guest picture comes from Tony & Co’s visit to Cephalonia. They had some high spots in their holiday and this is one of them. My get up and go had no option but to return today as the first business of the day was to get up and go to Carlisle. I was actingContinue reading “Get up and gone”
Out to lunch
No guest picture of the day today (hint, hint) and a rather dull blog, The picture below gives a clue as to why that should be. I was hoping to go a bit further but I got to bed too late last night and didn’t get up early enough today so that by the timeContinue reading “Out to lunch”
A final fling
Today’s guest picture shows fungus on Hampstead Heath in London and was sent to my daughter by her friend Claudia with the note that I might find it interesting. She was right. The day started with a successful attempt to get my cycling mileage up to my target for the year of 5000 miles. AContinue reading “A final fling”
