Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He and my sister Mary visited Greenwich Park yesterday, and enjoyed this striking view from the top of the hill. Following my policy of taking things easily until I am back to full working order, I had a very leisurely morning today. My only exercise was aContinue reading “Perfect timing”

A quiet day
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary, who found a wonderful show of colour on a recent visit to the park. We are still a bit short of colour in our garden, which is no surprise after another chilly night. At least we had a good day to follow the cold night. In spiteContinue reading “A quiet day”
Deja vu
Today’s guest picture comes from Elaine, the sister in law of our neighbour Liz. She is over on the east coast enjoying some fine weather at Beadnell Bay in Northumberland. We had some fine weather here too today, but sadly it didn’t even last until coffee time. It clouded over abruptly, and we sat inContinue reading “Deja vu”
Stretching my legs
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who, for her permitted exercise, walked up to the top of the hill and looked down on London . We had another bright and sunny morning, perhaps not as cold as yesterday. I was able to walk round the garden in shirtsleeves to admire the zing ofContinue reading “Stretching my legs”
Gentle therapy
Today’s guest picture comes from our friends Mike and Alison. They are on holiday on the shore of Loch Feochan in Argyll and this is the view from their front window. They have chosen a good week for their trip. We had a day of perfect weather here too, although there was still some winterContinue reading “Gentle therapy”
A pedal and a tootle and lawn care – a perfect day

He took this picture of Morecambe Bay in the distance from the wonderfully named Hutton Roof. By the time he got down to the seaside, the tide was out. Our spell of excellent weather continuedContinue reading “A pedal and a tootle and lawn care – a perfect day”
Hitting a boundary
Today’s guest picture comes from Venetia who visited the the Toulouse-Lautrec museum in Albi and thought that possibly this advertising poster, commissioned from Toulouse-Lautrec in 1896 by the Simpson Chain Company, might possibly be of interest to me. It was indeed. I had the intention of taking my new belt driven bicycle out for aContinue reading “Hitting a boundary”
The storm after the calm
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She has just spent a week in the Lake District and enjoyed some good weather. On this occasion, she was returning to Grasmere when the sun came out. We were actually quite grateful this morning here when the sun went in as it was still very warm. Continue reading “The storm after the calm”
Two rewarding outings
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother, who was on one of his outings. It shows the Old Bridge at Hereford across the Wye. We had a very pleasant day here today with lots of sunshine but with a wind just brisk enough to make me think of several reasons why going cycling might notContinue reading “Two rewarding outings”
Hard to beat
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew, who was half way up Snowdon in Wales when he saw this view yesterday. He says that the best thing about climbing Snowdon is that you can get a cup of tea at the top but the view is pretty good too. Our spell of dry andContinue reading “Hard to beat”
