Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He tells me that he got hissed at for taking it. The highlight of a cloudy morning was the arrival of Dropscone, who was well enough to be able to potter round to us on foot, carrying some of his excellent home made scones. Mrs Tootlepedal joinedContinue reading “Deprivetion”

Under powered
Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Liz. She found an inviting gate at the end of a tunnel this afternoon. Our spell of excellent weather continued today, and I spent a lot of time outside. After breakfast, I opened the greenhouse and did some watering in the vegetable garden. The downside of the goodContinue reading “Under powered”
Hovering about
Today’s guest picture comes from my Welsh correspondent Keiron. He has got an electric bike too, and sent me this idyllic picture from one of his recent rides. We had another fine and warm day here today, but there was a brisk wind, so I was happy to let my bike have a day offContinue reading “Hovering about”
Paint it black
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Ken, the ex archive group member. His son, Chris, who is visiting Perth, Australia, sent him this picture from a day trip to Rottnest Island, where he encountered a quokka. A quokka is not something that you see every day. We had another cool and windy day here,Continue reading “Paint it black”
Slow progress
Today’s guest picture comes from an old friend of my late sister Susan from her New Zealand days. Stephen and his wife have been walking the trail at Queen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand, and he kindly sent me this picture showing that it looks like a very good place for a walk. We hadContinue reading “Slow progress”
Nun better
Today’s guest picture comes from East Wemyss. It is not doctored and I think it might be the most interesting picture that Tony has ever taken. It is not often that you see a rainbow letting off steam. It had rained heavily here overnight, but we had plenty of sunshine during the day. This wouldContinue reading “Nun better”
A mystery knee
Today’s guest picture comes from a visit to The Newt by my Somerset correspondent Venetia. She found a fine display of Curcurbitae (gourds to you and me) dangling from a pergola. We had another cool, dry day here, with quite a bit of sunshine until it started to rain in the early evening. It wasn’tContinue reading “A mystery knee”
Two choirs and a stroll
Today’s guest picture is another from our friend Gavin’s trip to the Isle of Coll. They do good beaches on Coll. This is Crossapol Bay. The day here started well with a set of good old fashioned hymns at the church service, with the added benefits of easy bass parts for me to sing. WithContinue reading “Two choirs and a stroll”
Successful synthesising
You can’t have too many East Wemyss dawns in my opinion so today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. It was taken yesterday. I had a slow start to the day but I managed to squeeze a couple of pages of the newspaper index into the Archive Group database, the first for 1904Continue reading “Successful synthesising”
A busy but uneventful day
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She came upon a herd of deer on a visit to Somerset yesterday. We woke to a grey and wet day here, and although it dried up, it didn’t get much less grey until the very end of the day. With nothing better to do, I putContinue reading “A busy but uneventful day”
