Today’s guest picture comes from my Lancashire correspondent Paul. He has acquired a caravan near Kendal in the Lake District, and he tells me that he intends to do a lot of cycling on the quiet back roads in the area. It looks ideal to me. We had another frosty morning here, followed by anotherContinue reading “On a roll”

Four bridges and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He was visiting the village of Melbourne today, and enjoyed its old world atmosphere (though he wouldn’t like to live there). We had a grey and windy day here today. It was very windy at times, but not windy enough to do any noticeable damage. I cycledContinue reading “Four bridges and a tootle”

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found some good weather today to visit the Lenton Firs summerhouse with its 200 year old rockery. It is in the grounds of Nottingham University.

After a night of rain, we woke to slightly higher temperatures here, and it stayed comfortably above freezing all day. There wasn’t a trace of snow and ice in the garden and as the hillsContinue reading “Real cycling”
The rain it raineth every day
Today’s picture is a sweet William, the only ray of sunshine in a gloomy world. The natural moist gloominess of the day was made more gloomy still be the departure of Mrs Tootlepedal for a few days to see her brother in the deep south. He has just had a hip operation and needs allContinue reading “The rain it raineth every day”
