Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. It is a delightful study of the English having fun at the seaside (while waiting for a thunderstorm to come in). I would like to start this post by thanking all those who took the time to offer me good wishes in the comments on yesterday’s post.Continue reading “On the track to recovery”

Six bridges!
Today’s guest picture is another stolen from contributions sent to me for the last camera club meeting. This is a view that Stan took when he was up a hill in the Ewes Valley. It shows just how flat and narrow the valley bottom is. Our spell of very mixed weather continued today, and itContinue reading “Six bridges!”
Surprise cows
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce He was in North Berwick on the east coast today as the sun set. There was no sign of sun here today, and we woke to grey and wet weather. I spent some of the morning walking up to the town under my umbrella to do someContinue reading “Surprise cows”
Far too many fallen trees
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair in Edinburgh. He woke to find a sprinkling of snow on his balcony. This was a coincidence because we woke to snow here too . . . . . . and we had to walk very carefully to church to sing in the church choir. Although itContinue reading “Far too many fallen trees”
Christoph creeps in
Today’s guest picture is a very fine portrait of a hawk. It came from Simon, my camera club friend from Canonbie. He tells me that the hawk stayed in his garden for an hour. We have been threatened with bad weather from Storm Christoph over the next couple of days but we are right onContinue reading “Christoph creeps in”
Two unexpected encounters
Today’s guest post comes from my Lancashire correspondent Paul. It shows a fine sunset over Rivington Pike where they have obviously had more snow than we have had a good many miles to the north. We had another bright and chilly morning here, with freezing temperatures keeping things icy. I tottered out to John’s shop,Continue reading “Two unexpected encounters”
Continuous walking
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in Fife. He came across this splendid sea buckthorn on a recent walk. We had another cool day here, with only one rain shower but with a brisk north wind blowing. I had a stroll round the garden before coffee. The dark dahlia is putting out flowersContinue reading “Continuous walking”
Relative calm after the storm
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo, and shows her own rain gauge in Manitoba. It is all the more impressive because the five inches it recorded all fell in an hour and a half. Then they got another two inches overnight making seven inches in eight hours. That’s what I call real rain. TheContinue reading “Relative calm after the storm”
A good hiding
Today’s guest picture was taken by my friend Gavin’s son Fraser when Gavin went to Yosemite with him. I gather that you may have to knock other photographers out of the way to take this stunning view. We had another day of mostly sunny weather but with an even stronger and colder north wind than yesterdayContinue reading “A good hiding”
Hitting my target
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She caught Mr Grumpy’s London cousin pretending to be a statue. I think it may be true to say that we have already had more frosty days this winter than we had in the whole of last winter which was exceptionally wet and mild…and our winter hasn’tContinue reading “Hitting my target”
