Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Stan. He has got some very good pictures of the otter at Skippers Bridge which is getting us all excited. He has kindly let me use one here. It was a day of two halves, except as far as the weather went, where it was fineContinue reading “A spring in my step”

Just one shade of grey
Today’s guest picture, another from Stephen’s Queen Charlotte Sound hike in New Zealand, was specially chosen to add a splash of colour to a very grey day here. It was raining when we got up, and it is probably still raining as I write this in the evening, but I am not going out toContinue reading “Just one shade of grey”
Fleeting moments
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”
A gentle day
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She recorded another cause for alarm for the shepherds of Stockwell in London. She tells me that she could have got a better picture this morning if she had gone outside, but it was just too cold. No shepherds were alarmed in Langholm as we woke toContinue reading “A gentle day”
Hunting the hugger
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It shows the sparkly cloak that our granddaughter Evie was wearing today. Some children have all the luck We had a very far from sparkling day here today. The weather varied between grey and very grey, not quite drizzling and actually drizzling. On the plus side, itContinue reading “Hunting the hugger”
Re-heated
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. While I was on top of Whita yesterday and looking across the Solway to Skiddaw, he and a friend, and their dogs, were on top of Skiddaw 2000 ft higher than me, and looking back at Whita (when they had stopped posing for a picture). WeContinue reading “Re-heated”
Flat calm
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. His dog Henry took him up to the top of Warbla in yesterday’s strong winds. Mark reckons that judging by how flat Henry’s ears were, the wind must have been blowing at 50 mph. Henry thought that it was fun. After two days of continuous strongContinue reading “Flat calm”
Drops of colour
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. He led a group over Arkleton Hill last Sunday. I would like to have joined in if we hadn’t had choir business. It was another gloomy day today and it got steadily gloomier as the day went on. Our day started well though when we wereContinue reading “Drops of colour”
No angel
Today’s guest picture comes from my Lancashire correspondent Paul. He has been in the Lake District again, where he visited St Mary’s church at Crosthwaite. After more overnight rain, it was still raining here when we got up. I used this as an excuse to do nothing at all useful or memorable in the morning.Continue reading “No angel”
A pedal and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo, my Manitoba correspondent. She has crossed the Atlantic and is visiting London where she found this interestingly repaired door in Highgate Cemetery. We had another dry day here, with quite a bit of sunshine to take the chill off a cool morning. We started the day by cyclingContinue reading “A pedal and a tootle”
