Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who visited Coal Drops Yard beside the canal near St Pancras on one of her recent walks. It is described on Google Maps as ‘an upscale shopping centre in stylish digs’, and is normally crowded with visitors.

The last post
Today’s guest picture is the final one from Venetia’s Moroccan trip. It shows a gecko basking in the sun. It was another grey day here but slightly warmer and not actually raining as I walked to church in the morning.

Another duck
Today’s guest picture is an unusual shot of a new part of the town with the seventh hole of the Langholm Golf Club in the background. It was taken by Dropscone. We woke up to another glorious morning but it proved to be something of a false dawn as there was a very cold windContinue reading “Another duck”
