Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She paid a visit to the Tate Modern art gallery on the banks of the River Thames at the end of last month, and got this splendid view across the river from an upper window. We woke to a beautifully sunny but frosty morning here. Our localContinue reading “Cool cycling”

Not Tootlepedal but Totalpuddle
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He took this reflective picture of his son Dan resting on a bridge while they were on a recent walk together. After some overnight rain, we woke up to another grey and damp day here. It was still rather warm for the time of year, but the persistent drizzle didContinue reading “Not Tootlepedal but Totalpuddle”
The end
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It shows a member of his walking group wondering if there is a possible chance of a lift home. We had another chilly, grey morning here, with the temperature at three degrees when I got up for breakfast. Once again we were in no hurry to getContinue reading “The end”
A double whammy
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She came across this Antony Gormley figure in Winchester Cathedral on her recent visit. We woke to a beautiful sunny morning here. The price to pay for this was a temperature of 1°C when I got up. After a quick peek showed me that there was iceContinue reading “A double whammy”
Progress
In the absence of any more up to date guest pictures, I have gone back to sunny days a fortnight ago. The picture shows the never ending delight of the Wemyss coast as seen by our son Tony. We had another cold night with the temperature at our local weather station recorded as a meagreContinue reading “Progress”
Song cycle
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Sharon. She has been visiting Hadrian’s Wall country and kindly sent me a set of pictures of the wall, including the north of England’s most famous tree. I have put them into a panel. We had another very grey and drizzly start to the day here with rainContinue reading “Song cycle”
Lightly spotted
Today’s guest picture is a very painterly photograph of a nesting swan on a canal taken by my Welsh correspondent Keiron on his way to work today. There was a theoretical chance of rain today but once again we had a sunny morning and the street socially distanced coffee group (fortified by date rolls) wasContinue reading “Lightly spotted”
Sconesongcycle
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo. She escaped just in time from the Manitoba snow storm and arrived in London to find that it was raining a lot instead. In the end the rain stopped for long enough for her to visit Kew Gardens where she encountered these splendidly prickly plants. After our shortContinue reading “Sconesongcycle”
Scones and songs
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. It shows the Hood Monument at Compton Dundon. She tells me that Admiral Samuel Hood (1724-1816) was the son of the local vicar who took in a navy captain when his carriage broke down. Young Samuel (and his younger brother Alexander) were so taken by theContinue reading “Scones and songs”
A spring in the step
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He has gone to Wales for a jaunt and on his way, he stopped at the ancient city of Chester. I started the day by selling some postcards to the paper shop to help Archive Group funds and then visited the data miners in the new ArchiveContinue reading “A spring in the step”
