Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. It shows part of the botanic garden at Southsea on a lovely day recently. We had to be up and about quite smartly today, as we had to be in Canonbie before half past nine for our Covid booster injections. We were seen promptly, given the jabs,Continue reading “Getting the point”

Not the most productive day
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony who has abandoned the sunny east coast for a holiday in the north west of Scotland. He found plenty of sun at Red Point Bay near Gairloch. It was occasionally sunny here, but always windy, and I had a rather unsatisfactory day. It started in the churchContinue reading “Not the most productive day”
Small but select
Today’s guest picture of a most unusual ‘fallstreak’ or ‘hole punch’ cloud comes from camera club member Simon. It was one of the pictures screened at our monthly meeting this evening. It was hot when we got up this morning, and it was a lot hotter by the afternoon, when our local weather station recordedContinue reading “Small but select”
Batteries at work
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She found a shady spot by the canal on a hot day for a walk in London. After yesterday’s clouds, we were back to dawn to dusk sunshine again today. During the day, the temperature climbed to 23°C (74°F), but it has cooled down again in theContinue reading “Batteries at work”
A niggle keeps me in
I looked in my files for a guest photo today and found this fine sunset in Worcester, SA, sent to me just before Christmas by Langholm exile Tom. It was another day here with neither a visible sunrise nor much of a sunset as it was grey all day. It was warm for the timeContinue reading “A niggle keeps me in”
Song, birds and bees
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found a perfect moment this afternoon for a riverside view in Derby. We had another cool, but not cold day here, and apart from some very light drizzle in the afternoon, it stayed dry. We were thus able to cycle to church after breakfast, where asContinue reading “Song, birds and bees”
Two sociable outings
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He took his daughter Matilda to Jupiter Artland near Edinburgh where she found a friend. I didn’t have time for any Archive Group work after breakfast today because I had arranged to meet my walking friend Mark to show him a route that he hadn’t taken before.Continue reading “Two sociable outings”
Playing and walking
Today’s guest picture was sent to me by Irving Bell. He got this fine view of Talla reservoir while on a motor tour. He advises me that I if I want to get the view too while pedalling, an electric bike would be a good idea as it involves a steep hill. We had aContinue reading “Playing and walking”
Our visitors arrive
Today’s guest picture is a composite of flower pictures taken in our garden by our granddaughter Matilda. She has brought her parents to stay with us for a few days. She took a lot of pictures and these were her favourites. She has a steady hand and a good eye. We had a cool greyContinue reading “Our visitors arrive”
A pedal and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Libbie, who is visiting Perthshire. Knowing that I like trees, she sent me this picture of the Fortingall Yew, known for being one of the oldest trees in Britain, with modern estimates of its age being between 2,000 and 3,000 years. We had a day of variable weatherContinue reading “A pedal and a tootle”
