Batteries at work

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She found a shady spot by the canal on a hot day for a walk in London. After yesterday’s clouds, we were back to dawn to dusk sunshine again today. During the day, the temperature climbed to 23°C (74°F), but it has cooled down again in the

Watering and wandering

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited the Rose Garden in Regents Park after playing tennis on Saturday.. More good weather and a fairly active day led to too many photographs being taken. Today’s post is heavy on galleries to enable judicious skipping for busy readers. I started the day by preparing

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 off

Enjoying a day out in England

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He too found some ducks in a pond, but it was a rather classier pond than the little affair in our garden The day started rather sadly when we waved goodbye to Tony, Marianne and the dogs as they set off to drive back to East Wemyss.

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 was

Still tolerable

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. In the course of his walk on a very hot day, he found a shady bench in a wood for a moment of respite. The sun was out when we got up . . . . . . and it stayed out all day. At the peak

Another gentle day

Today’s guest post comes from my brother Andrew. His group walk yesterday took him along the towpath of the Trent and Mersey canal. We had another day of variable weather here, with occasional sunshine and the odd little shower. In general it was cloudy, but not a bad day to be out in the garden.

Phew

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She popped down to the canal for a walk this morning and got home before the temperature in London hit 33°C (91°F) later in the day. I did some watering in Annie’s garden this morning and took a picture of a rose. It was hot in the
