Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone. He had occasion to visit Talkin Tarn near Brampton last week while on an outing with his oldest son who was visiting him. They didn’t walk round the tarn though. It was still snowing when we went to bed last night, so there was a moment of anticipation whenContinue reading “Fleeting moments”

Over excited
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She found these lovely lilies in a supermarket cafe where she was taking a well earned break. We had a very wet morning indeed here, with steady heavy rain making for a gloomy atmosphere outside. Luckily Dropscone came in at coffee time bringing scones with him, andContinue reading “Over excited”
Slow going
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who had a day out in Paris today. She walked along the Seine I had quite a full day today here without doing anything in a rush. It had got down to very near freezing overnight, so Mrs Tootlepedal was out checking the garden while I wasContinue reading “Slow going”
Pulling, pushing, perambulating and playing
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found this fine mediaeval bridge for me on a visit to Fountains Abbey. We had our first genuinely chilly morning since the late spring today. Our local weather station recorded a low of 3°C (38°F) in the early hours. It was a generally sunny day though,Continue reading “Pulling, pushing, perambulating and playing”
Going out like a lamb
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. I had to look twice to see that East Wemyss does not in fact have mist shrouded mountains in the background. After a night of heavy wind, we were relieved to find that there had been none of the destructive gusts that brought trouble before. In fact,Continue reading “Going out like a lamb”
Blown down and blown up
Today’s guest picture is another from Bruce’s visit to Sheffield. This time he saw a very helpful signpost. We did have some more sunshine here today, but as forecast, it came with quite a lot of wind. Just after breakfast, a fierce gust blew a compost bin over, and we had to go and hideContinue reading “Blown down and blown up”
Sitting on the fence
Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Simon. He took advantage of the fine weather yesterday to visit High Cup Nick in the northern English hills. I start today’s post with an apology regarding yesterday’s effort. After successfully publishing the full post, I managed in a moment of absent mindedness to post an update withContinue reading “Sitting on the fence”
An unexpected opportunity
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It shows that they have autumn colour in London too. We woke to sub zero temperatures (-2°C) but some cheerful sunshine made up for the cold. I had a look at the birds after breakfast . . . . . . and then went for a shortContinue reading “An unexpected opportunity”
A short walk and a surprise
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She found plenty of flowers and a bit of peace and quiet in this well sheltered municipal garden beside the sea in Southsea. We had a miserable day here, grey, windy and rainy. I managed to nip up to the local producers market in the High StreetContinue reading “A short walk and a surprise”
The last of the light
Today’s guest picture is another of the fine crop of fungus to be found in my Lake Michigan correspondent, Laura’s back yard. We had more rain overnight, but it was not serious rain and it petered out by coffee time, dampening Margaret on her way in, but letting her get home dry. After coffee, MrsContinue reading “The last of the light”
