Today’s guest picture comes from Manitoba, where my correspondent Lucie has grown a fine sunflower (with added friends). After yesterday’s brilliant sunshine, it was a disappointment to wake up to a very different day here today. It started grey, it ended grey, and in between, it was grey. It was neither warm not cold, butContinue reading “Fade to grey”

A smile and a song
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It shows an elaborate bridge to get cyclists over a main road in Derby. My brother thinks that they have gone metaphorically as well as literally over the top. We didn’t have a frosty morning here today though it was near zero, but as a counterbalance, weContinue reading “A smile and a song”
In a jam
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He noticed two lambs playing leapfrog on his walk today. After a foul night of wind and rain, we were provided with a foul day of wind and rain to follow it. On occasions, the rain did ease off to a drizzle but it was still aContinue reading “In a jam”
A very welcome sight in the garden
Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Simon. After the easing of the lockdown, he has been able to get back to his regular employment of working at sports events and he found this splendidly twisted tree on a golf course. It is my policy only to use pictures taken on the dayContinue reading “A very welcome sight in the garden”
Out of sync
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew’s walk today, and shows a sign of the times, a golf course with no golfers on it. Our slightly unsettling spell of dry and sunny weather continued. The forecast says it may not rain until net Tuesday but, more importantly for me, it also says that theContinue reading “Out of sync”
Going downhill slowly
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. On his permitted walk, he revisited a blue bell wood that he found unsatisfactory when he photographed it on a walk not long ago and found it much more satisfactory today. We had another sunny start to our day and the neighbourhood alfresco coffee morning team enjoyedContinue reading “Going downhill slowly”
A spring in my step
Today’s guest picture comes from Dylan, the son of Marianne, our son Tony’s partner. He spotted a big bee among some fine blossom. We had a day of wall to wall sunshine here. Once again the wind was brisk and somewhat chilly, but if you could get out of the wind, it was very pleasant.Continue reading “A spring in my step”
Pushed back
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. His dogs take spring seriously in East Wemyss. Finally the warm weather arrived in Langholm and when we got up we wondered if the the warmth would bring the tulips out. It did. And in the end, the race to be first tulip out was a deadContinue reading “Pushed back”
Small but select
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia who took it while flashing past Stonehenge on a double decker bus. There was no time to stop as she was off to London for a march to demand a second referendum. One of my sisters, my brother and his two sons also attended the marchContinue reading “Small but select”
Pushing the boundary
Today’s guest picture, like yesterday’s, comes from Canada but shows a different view of Thanksgiving Day there. Langholm exile Joyce sent me this view from her window in Ontario. We had an altogether better day today here as far as the weather went, with not even a hint of a raindrop about. My plan wasContinue reading “Pushing the boundary”
