Today’s guest picture comes from Sandy. He has temporarily forsaken Langholm for some sun, sea, and sand in Benidorm. He was impressed by this tree. We could have done with a bit of that sunshine here today but it wasn’t to be. It was reasonably warm (10°C/50°F) by the afternoon and pretty calm too, butContinue reading “I wandered lonely in a cloud”

A toddle and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from sunny East Wemyss. Our son Tony wishes to point that they get the moon there too. We got plenty of sunshine here today, but as the temperature was a measly -5°C at breakfast time, there was no inclination to go outside and do some sunbathing. Mrs Tootlepedal went off toContinue reading “A toddle and a tootle”
Drops of colour
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. He led a group over Arkleton Hill last Sunday. I would like to have joined in if we hadn’t had choir business. It was another gloomy day today and it got steadily gloomier as the day went on. Our day started well though when we wereContinue reading “Drops of colour”
Got there at last
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. As well as rain and snow in recent days, he has seen an owl too. Our run of cool days continued but once again we didn’t get a frost, although the thermometer wasn’t far above zero. It was pretty still again in spite of low pressure andContinue reading “Got there at last”
Quiet morning, busy afternoon
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony who is having a break with Marianne on the Isle of Skye. He couldn’t have chosen a better place or had a better day. We had what looked as though it was going to be a good day here, but it flattered to deceive and if thereContinue reading “Quiet morning, busy afternoon”
Making the most of my one expedition
Today’s guest picture comes from Matilda. She is off school but obviously getting good art lessons at home. Here, we had another dry day with a lot of thin cloud again. It did get slightly warmer in the afternoon and may well have got into double figures at last. We are limited in what weContinue reading “Making the most of my one expedition”
A tootle and a pedal, hooray
Today’s guest picture comes from my South African correspondent, Langholm exile Tom. He was looking for something to send me from his archives and found this lofty view of Worcester in the Western Cape, taken from 6000 ft up. We had a calm day before the advertised arrival late tomorrow of storm Ciara, which theContinue reading “A tootle and a pedal, hooray”
It’s Christmas day
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. His terrier sums up precisely that evening feeling on Christmas day. Many readers kindly wished that Mrs Tootlepedal and I should have a happy Christmas and their wishes must carry great force, because we did. For a start, the sun shone properly for the first time forContinue reading “It’s Christmas day”
Overcome by doubt
Today’s guest picture is another East Wemyss view from our son Tony. They don’t don’t just do golden sunshine and handsome canines there, they do purple skies too. We were intending to catch one of the super duper 5 coach new trains from Lockerbie to Edinburgh today but having checked the early services and foundContinue reading “Overcome by doubt”
To the woods
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He and his partner Marianne celebrated her birthday with a weekend in Argyll on the banks of Loch Awe, where they visited the multi layered Arvich falls. We had a cold and chilly morning here today. It was not freezing but it was cold enough to persuadeContinue reading “To the woods”
