Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone, who instead of having coffee with me yesterday, played golf. He tells me that his form was like the weather, rather patchy. Still the view from Langholm Golf Course is always good, no matter how indifferent the golf is. After a slightly better night, we settled for an extremelyContinue reading “Progress”

An electric shock
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She had a very unflustered visitor sitting on her garden wall a day or two ago. We had a gloriously sunny day today. On the down side, it was below freezing when we woke up, but it soon warmed up a little. Although the temperature rose, itContinue reading “An electric shock”
Pushing on
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend and ex teaching colleague Ada. She is taking in some rays in Tenerife and enjoyed meeting some wild poinsettias there while on a walk today. We had another basically cold and grey day here today. Scraps of sunshine appeared now and again and as the north-easterly wind wasContinue reading “Pushing on”
Not quite on top form
As today was another grey day, I asked our son Tony to send me some recent East Wemyss sunshine for a guest picture to cheer me up. He obliged with several and I chose this one. It really was very gray this morning when I got up unusually early for me. The reason for myContinue reading “Not quite on top form”
Flying off the handle
Today’s guest picture is another fine bridge from my brother Andrew. He tells me that this is an 18th Century road bridge in Nottingham. It was decidedly autumnal here today, with a chill in the air when we got up. Both Sandy and Margaret remarked on the need for warm clothing when they arrived atContinue reading “Flying off the handle”
Over the hill
Today’s guest picture comes from Sandy. We had some spare seed potatoes earlier this year and he took them off our hands, planted them in a big bag, and looked after them. He has been rewarded with a good crop. Our weather has settled down again to normal summer temperatures, and I had no needContinue reading “Over the hill”
A little pedal at last
Just to show that the sun doesn’t always shine on my relatives, today’s guest picture from my brother Andrew shows that he had gloomy day in the midlands yesterday while we were enjoying our sunshine. To even things out, we had a very gloomy day here today, but at least it wasn’t freezing. I wasContinue reading “A little pedal at last”
A lot to do
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She was visiting the Tate Modern art gallery when she took this picture of the River Thames and a familiar landmark. Our unseasonable warm spell continued today, but with only very fleeting glimpses of sunshine. It is mostly quite grey, but as it didn’t rain, we didn’tContinue reading “A lot to do”
Some business and a little stretch
Today’s guest picture comes from my South African correspondent, Tom. He came across this tense stand off between a cat and a hadeda. Tom tells me that he sided with the bird and chased the cat away. We had a rather grey and windy morning here after more overnight rain. When I went out intoContinue reading “Some business and a little stretch”
An unexpected visitor
Today’s guest picture shows Tony’s dogs enjoying some of that eternal sunshine in East Wemyss. After our mini heatwave, we returned to more sensible temperatures here today. If the sun had shone, it would have been perfect, but it turned out to be cloudy all day and we had to have a jumper on forContinue reading “An unexpected visitor”
