Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She enjoyed a very sunny day in Regents Park when she went for a game of tennis yesterday. We had another day of wall to wall sunshine here, and though it was pleasantly cool after breakfast, it had got a bit too hot (25°C) for total comfortContinue reading “Varied choral experiences”

Deprivetion
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He tells me that he got hissed at for taking it. The highlight of a cloudy morning was the arrival of Dropscone, who was well enough to be able to potter round to us on foot, carrying some of his excellent home made scones. Mrs Tootlepedal joinedContinue reading “Deprivetion”
Getting closure
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone. He has a substantial horse chestnut tree in his garden. Our spell of fine weather continued, and as I had an appointment in the afternoon, I got out comparatively early (10 o’clock) for a cycle ride. I had hoped to go up the A7 to Fiddleton, and then takeContinue reading “Getting closure”
A cross word in England
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. It shows a stunning dawn in East Wemyss with added dog appeal. We had another fine day here as our spell of good weather continued. This was lucky, as we went off after breakfast to do some volunteer tree planting on the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve.Continue reading “A cross word in England”
Getting there
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. He had two spectators for his walk with his dogs this morning. We had another day of calm, fine weather here today, so it was a natural thought that some cycling might be in order. I even got organised enough to get going beforeContinue reading “Getting there”
Getting about
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He stopped on his way to Morecambe today to walk up a hill in the Lake District and get a very good view of Glenridding. It was a reasonably calm and dry day here today so a bike ride seemed a sensible way to pass the time.Continue reading “Getting about”
Hitting the heights
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He passed this old building, once a home for nurses in Derby, and now with just a frontage left standing. After a spell of grey and wet weather here, it was a pleasure to get up to a sunny morning today. The pleasure was slightly modified byContinue reading “Hitting the heights”
Frozen out and in
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who was out and about on a very sunny day before the recent snow in London. She visited St Catherine’s Dock at just the right moment We had our coldest morning yet here today at -11°C/-12°F. I got out as far as the bird feeders in theContinue reading “Frozen out and in”
A late walk
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He managed to take a very atmospheric picture as he crossed the River Derwent late on a misty afternoon recently. We had a marked change in the weather here today as we went back to a prolonged spell of rain. Luckily, not only did Margaret join usContinue reading “A late walk”
Drops of colour
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. He led a group over Arkleton Hill last Sunday. I would like to have joined in if we hadn’t had choir business. It was another gloomy day today and it got steadily gloomier as the day went on. Our day started well though when we wereContinue reading “Drops of colour”
