Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. He has just had another trip to the Cairngorms, and got better weather this time when he and Henry climbed Bienn a Bhuird. Unusually for us, our day here started with no sign of the sun, and it was fairly cool when Sandy walked down toContinue reading “Over the hill and quite far away”

Pushed around
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. His walking group had splendid views on their outing today. As our garden gradually dries out and the soil turns to dust, we had another dry and sunny day here. Although it did get quite warm at the peak of the day, generally, the temperature was pleasantContinue reading “Pushed around”
A land of milk and honey
Today’s guest picture shows that it is possible to visit a garden on just the right day as my brother Andrew discovered when he visited Lea Gardens this morning. We had another warm and pleasant day here, often cloudy but with occasional sunshine. After our usual leisurely breakfast, I did the crossword and then cycledContinue reading “A land of milk and honey”
A full but uneventful day
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. While he was on a walk with one of his sons yesterday, he came across an alpaca with a neat haircut . It was a cool but dry day here today, without the benefit of any sunshine to warm things up. We cycled to church where thereContinue reading “A full but uneventful day”
Two hair cuts
Today’s guest picture, taken by my brother Andrew, shows the old Midland Railway bridge across the river in Derby. The bridge is now used by cyclists and pedestrians. To get the major disappointment of the day out of the way right at the start of this post, my electric bike was not ready to beContinue reading “Two hair cuts”
At a standstill
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It shows an example of the increasingly common outbreak of post box bothering which is becoming all the fashion these days. We had hoped to be able to go and sing in the church choir this morning, as this wouldn’t require any great travelling. However, it wasContinue reading “At a standstill”
Sunshine, a scone and a stroll
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. It is an early morning impressionistic study of Mr Grumpy’s cousin watching the sun come up today. The sun came up here too, and it stayed up all day. Once again, a brisk wind ensured that we didn’t get overheated, and Dropscone wore warmContinue reading “Sunshine, a scone and a stroll”
Wasting a good break
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It has been quite windy in Derby. We had brisk winds and heavy rain here overnight, and it was still raining when we got up. It was cold enough for the rain to fall as sleet and even to turn the garden white for a brief moment.Continue reading “Wasting a good break”
Dogged determination
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is in Devon at the moment and sent me this nice shot of the bridge at Dulverton. After our clear moonlit night, we woke to a clear sunlit morning, a bit frosty but lovely. I walked up to the town quite early in the day toContinue reading “Dogged determination”
A bit of a blow
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He visited Sheffield for cultural purposes recently and enjoyed a sunny spell while he was there. We had a very occasional glimpse of the sun here today, but in general it was grey and pretty windy again. Dropscone came round for coffee, bringing some of his excellentContinue reading “A bit of a blow”
