Today’s guest picture marks a return to sunny East Wemyss, where, as usual, the weather was fine for Tony’s afternoon walk with his dogs. We had a fine day here, but as it was freezing when we got up, a modest 4°C at midday, and back to below freezing by the evening, it wasn’t aContinue reading “A stroll and a song”

Hitting the heights and down in the dumps
Today’s guest picture is another from Venetia’s recent walk. She came across this old lime kiln. Today was a marked contrast to yesterday. As a result, there are too many pictures in today’s post for which I apologise, but I got carried away by a glimpse of the sun and the chance to get outside.Continue reading “Hitting the heights and down in the dumps”
A stroll in the sun
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. On another visit to Spondon, he walked down Guzzler’s Nook. He took this picture from halfway along. He says that it looks remarkably similar in the other direction too. After the relatively warm weather yesterday, the temperatures sank steadily over night and we were down to 5°CContinue reading “A stroll in the sun”
A little celebration
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who found a fine example of supportive crochet attached to a tree near his house. It turned out that a year had passed since my last birthday so I woke up today a year older (but not much wiser). The weather gods were in a benevolent moodContinue reading “A little celebration”
Slow cycling, slow cooking
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She came across this well decorated gate on a recent walk near her home. The day started off looking a bit grey, but it didn’t take long for the promised sun to appear. When it arrived, I got changed for cycling and Mrs Tootlepedal goodly stayedContinue reading “Slow cycling, slow cooking”
Near the bottom
Today’s guest picture comes from Gunta, a correspondent and fellow blogger who lives in SW Oregon. Knowing that I like bridges, she has sent me this fine example, one of the most notable bridges in the Pacific Northwest. It crosses the Rogue River near its mouth. We are only a day or two away fromContinue reading “Near the bottom”
Quite busy
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited Margate, home of the Turner Contemporary art gallery and was please to be able to capture a Turneresque shot of the seaside while she was there. I had a day of general activity, none of it very vigorous. The morning started with the crossword andContinue reading “Quite busy”
A good end to a dull day
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who met this alien in a shop in Derby. For some reason, possibly connected to the label on its shoulder, he didn’t buy it. It’s not often that a day completely defeats me when it comes to taking photographs or finding something interesting to write about, butContinue reading “A good end to a dull day”
Seeing the light
Today’s guest picture comes from a new contributor, Paul. Like myself, he is a cyclist and obviously a keen photographer. He is not absolutely sure but he thinks that this delightful shot was taken at Blea Tarn in the Lake District. We had another cold and sunny day today, but it was even colder thanContinue reading “Seeing the light”
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”
