Hanging about

Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone’s sister, Elizabeth. She hangs out a good array of different feeders and was rewarded by a visit from long tailed tits. The forecast was quite correct. It was just as cold this morning as it has been for the past few days but there was no sun to brighten

No wonder

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. He saw this buzzard in a tree while walking his dogs a day or two ago. The forecasters had been pretty certain that we would get a good fall of snow today and I was looking forward to being able to have a winter

We didn’t get the drift

Today’s guest picture shows a very cool customer who turned up in my son Tony’s back garden yesterday. Tony was busy again today. I notice that he got out of the igloo before he let anyone stand on it. The snow was still here this morning in Langholm too.  The wind had sighed and moaned

No comfort at all

Today’s guest picture is a Paddington Basin sunset captured by my sister Mary.  I don’t usually go for sunsets but this is a cracker. We had another even colder day today, without the benefit of any added sunshine. Thanks to a very slowly dripping but unnoticed tap in the guest bathroom, it was cold enough
