Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba. Not only did her table and umbrella get blown over by a strong gust of wind, they subsequently got covered with an unexpectedly late fall of snow. Mary Jo was not amused. We did not have snow here today, and we didn’t have rain either. ThisContinue reading “Pulling out all the stops”

A little boring
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Hilary, a.k.a Dropscone’s niece. She tells me that this is part of the route of her regular evening run into Zurich from where she can catch a train back home again. We had to be up promptly today, as I had a dentist’s appointment in Annan. Our LangholmContinue reading “A little boring”
Making the most of the weather
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother Andrew. He was much struck by this fine floral display on a recent walk Our spell of good weather here continued today. It is supposed to go back to being cooler and wetter next week, so we are enjoying the dry and warm days as much asContinue reading “Making the most of the weather”
Far seeing
Today’s guest picture is another from my Somerset correspondent Venetia’s visit to Woolbeding. She was impressed by this pair of nine inch wide fungi. We had another generally dry day here today, although it was quite breezy at times. Sandy came down for coffee and he went off with some runner beans. He was inContinue reading “Far seeing”
The heather on the hill
Today’s guest pictures comes from my sister Mary. You get no prizes for guessing which London station she visited today. We had a disappointing day here today as far as the weather went. It was windy, cool (16°C) and very grey. There was very little hint of summer about, so we found things to doContinue reading “The heather on the hill”
No one leaves without a courgette
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. After his group walk yesterday, he visited a garden centre where he purchased a delphinium and enjoyed this splendid view. We had a breezy day here, with quite a bit of sunshine, but with occasional showers too. An early shower passed just in time for us toContinue reading “No one leaves without a courgette”
The weather gods oblige

He found a sunlit Northern Irish seaside heron while on holiday in Donaghadee, and kindly sent me this shot.. The forecast suggested that we might have that rare thing to day, no rain atContinue reading “The weather gods oblige”
Riding in the rain
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who is on a break with my sister Mary. He knows that I like a bridge, so he took this shot of a fine example in Worcester. It is crossing the River Severn We were promised a day of miserable weather here today, but although it wasContinue reading “Riding in the rain”
Cutting it fine
Today’s guest picture returns to our son Tony’s highland holiday. This scene was from yesterday’s excursion. Our view of the day here was very much coloured by the weather forecast, which confidently promised thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rain, winds, and probably plagues of frogs if I’d read on far enough. Under the circumstances we didn’t haveContinue reading “Cutting it fine”
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”
