Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He saw a rainbow to brighten his afternoon today. We woke to some very welcome sunshine here this morning. Unfortunately it was accompanied by a very brisk wind, and it didn’t feel very warm outside when I went to fill the bird feeder. The birds appreciated theContinue reading “A pedal, a toddle and a tootle”

On the track to recovery
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. It is a delightful study of the English having fun at the seaside (while waiting for a thunderstorm to come in). I would like to start this post by thanking all those who took the time to offer me good wishes in the comments on yesterday’s post.Continue reading “On the track to recovery”
Fooled by the forecast
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. I said that she had seen azaleas at Kenwood in yesterday’s post but I wasn’t paying attention. She had visited the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park, where she also saw this pretty stream. Mrs Tootlepedal had put the trail camera out overnight, and when we checked inContinue reading “Fooled by the forecast”
A sermon, a song and a stroll
Today’s guest picture comes from ex Archive Group member Ken. When he visited Wallington National Trust garden today, he came across this creative use of a tree damaged by Storm Arwen It was far from stormy here today as it stayed grey, calm, and with a reasonable temperature all day. We cycled to church asContinue reading “A sermon, a song and a stroll”
An improving day
As we had a very wet and grey morning here, I am pleased to have an East Wemyss dawn as the guest picture of the day by way of a contrast. Tony was up early again. It was so wet here in the morning that Dropscone came round in his car for coffee instead ofContinue reading “An improving day”
A song, a stroll and a song
Today’s guest picture comes from Venetia. She has been visiting my sister Mary, and took a picture to show what Mary does in Regents Park when she isn’t taking the photographs that often appear here as guest pictures. We had a generally sunny, but rather chilly day here, and we needed a coat as weContinue reading “A song, a stroll and a song”
An excellent tootle
Today’s guest picture is a reminder of the sort of sunrise that you can see in East Wemyss if you are up and about at 5 A.M. Our son Tony was. Owing to a busy afternoon and evening, I am starting this post very late in the day, so the text may be a bitContinue reading “An excellent tootle”
Singing in the sun
Today’s guest picture comes from Elaine, my correspondent on the north east coast of England. It shows a very impressive life boat and mover at Seahouses, purchased with public donations. Elaine tells me that it cost £3 million. The end of our warm and sunny spell of weather is in sight, so we made sureContinue reading “Singing in the sun”
Well guided
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba and shows some very unusual melting ice beside a gravel road. We had another warm and sunny day here, which was just as well as the main business of the day was a good walk in the hills. I had time to enjoy the play ofContinue reading “Well guided”
A tootle but no pedal
Today’s guest picture was taken by Mrs Tootlepedal. It shows an artistic darn which she has made to fill a hole in the sleeve of one of my jerseys. She was feeling very creative at the time. I looked out of the window just before I went to bed last night, and was much struckContinue reading “A tootle but no pedal”
