Today’s guest picture is from my walking friend Mark. It comes from yesterday’s walk, and I think it shows the airy views better than any I used in yesterday’s post. His phone camera works well. Today was quite a contrast with yesterday. I did have some conversation with a friend, but it was over morningContinue reading “Free but at a cost”

Potatoes, purchases and peat
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She and my brother Andrew visited the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels on their recent rip to Belgium. We woke up to another sunny day here, with no sign of early morning frost. We made the best of the morning by setting to and gettingContinue reading “Potatoes, purchases and peat”
Not seeing my way
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is on holiday in the Devon and sent me this fine view from the very edge of Exmoor. It was the day of the Langholm Agricultural Show today, so it would not have been unusual to find that heavy rain and gales were spoiling the day.Continue reading “Not seeing my way”
The heather on the hill
Today’s guest pictures comes from my sister Mary. You get no prizes for guessing which London station she visited today. We had a disappointing day here today as far as the weather went. It was windy, cool (16°C) and very grey. There was very little hint of summer about, so we found things to doContinue reading “The heather on the hill”
Mistiming
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He got the distinct feeling that someone was watching him the other day. I didn’t get well organised at all today, as I managed to footle away the morning when the weather was dry, and then go for a walk in the afternoon when it was decidedlyContinue reading “Mistiming”
A fond farewell
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. He visited the standing stones at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis, and wants us to know that the sun wasn’t shining everywhere in Britain yesterday. The sun certainly was shining here again today, and once again, we felt it sensible to take in the outdoors inContinue reading “A fond farewell”
A sunny day
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. It shows East Wemyss at its best in my view. We had a lovely summer day here today, in marked contrast to the weather yesterday. Naturally, since it was a fine day for gardening, Mrs Tootlepedal found herself called to go to take minutes at a meeting.Continue reading “A sunny day”
Faith rewarded
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. He was amused by the placing of this bollard, and wondered whether it was there for drivers or sailors. We had another sociable morning today, with both Sandy and Margaret coming round for coffee and conversation. When they had gone their separate ways, we got out intoContinue reading “Faith rewarded”
Levelling up
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She took this peaceful canal scene today just to show the rest of her family that she had been out and about. The forecast was right, and it was a bit cooler today than the past two days. However, it was only a bit cooler, and asContinue reading “Levelling up”
A day at the races
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is in Devon and enjoying some lovely spring colour. It was springlike here, with temperatures above the norm. I had a busy morning in an unspectacular way, visiting the shop and paying my account, getting money from the cash machine in the High Street, having coffeeContinue reading “A day at the races”
