Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony’s good friend Mike. He is in London at the moment, and took this fine shot of Tower Bridge and the river from the top of the Shard. Rather him than me. We had another very windy day here today, and I had to pop out several timesContinue reading “Just a song at twilight”

A better day
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She found this lovely bridge on a walk in Devon where she was on holiday As the forecast for the afternoon looked a lot better than it did for the morning, we made the best of the day by going to a supermarket in Annan before lunch.Continue reading “A better day”
Feeling the cold
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He spotted this charming bridge in the grounds of Nottingham University today. We had another cold, dry and grey day here. It was made to feel even colder than it was by one of those winds that goes straight through you rather than taking the trouble toContinue reading “Feeling the cold”
A choir short
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She was approached by this fox while she was on a visit to Kew Gardens recently. We woke to a blustery and wet day. The forecast assured us that things would get worse and the forecast was right. In the meantime, I took the car to church for aContinue reading “A choir short”
Two churches and five visitors
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He took this view from a bridge in Derby on his way to an evening meal with his sister Mary and his son Daniel. We had another day of pretty miserable weather here, and it was dark enough at breakfast time to show off our Christmas tree lights.Continue reading “Two churches and five visitors”
Two churches
Today’s guest picture is another fine Thames bridge from Mary Jo’s recent visit to London. We had another very gloomy and often wet day here. It stayed dry enough to let us walk to the church without opening our umbrellas, but we had to use them to keep dry on the way back. At theContinue reading “Two churches”
Footing the bill
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He stopped to take a picture of Derby in the dark on his way to the cinema last night. Our cold spell continues and we were below freezing again when we got up today. It hasn’t been icy underfoot which has been a blessing, but I sawContinue reading “Footing the bill”
Another birthday
In the absence of a guest photograph, I am putting up a picture of a picture to start the post off today. It is by a local painter, Margaret Walty, an expert botanical artist, and it was my birthday present to Mrs Tootlepedal, who made a vain effort to catch me up today by havingContinue reading “Another birthday”
Getting wet and spectacles
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She visited the Lady Chapel in Wells Cathedral this morning. After the excitement of the bonfire and fireworks last night, this morning seemed strangely calm. I looked at the bird feeder and noticed a blue tit looking rather cheesed off at the lack of seed atContinue reading “Getting wet and spectacles”
All lit up
Today’s guest picture, sent to me by our friend Gavin, is another of his granddaughter Hannah’s fungus discoveries while she is visiting the Netherlands to consider possible universities. We had a fine and relatively warm day here today. It would have been perfect for a long cycle ride if I hadn’t had two choirs andContinue reading “All lit up”
