Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. He had two spectators for his walk with his dogs this morning. We had another day of calm, fine weather here today, so it was a natural thought that some cycling might be in order. I even got organised enough to get going beforeContinue reading “Getting there”

Sunshine and seaside
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who was sitting outside a cafe beside the Thames yesterday when she got an unexpected treat. We got an unusual treat here today in the shape of a sunny day. To add to the pleasure of the day, it wasn’t even very cold in the morning, whichContinue reading “Sunshine and seaside”
The longest day
Today’s guest picture shows that Tony’s dogs are enjoying their Highland holiday too. Since today was the longest day of the year, I thought it appropriate to try to achieve the longest bike ride of the year while I had plenty of daylight. The forecast was for a warm, cloudy day with a light wind.Continue reading “The longest day”
A pedal but no tootle
Today’s guest picture shows the sunny shore at East Wemyss this afternoon, with another example of the sort of weather that our older son Tony has to put up with all the time. We had a sunny day in Langholm too, but as it came with sub zero temperatures at breakfast time, we had toContinue reading “A pedal but no tootle”
An uncommon day
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. He came across a curious pattern in a field. Today was Common Riding Day in Langholm, but the absence of three bands, a hundred and fifty horses and riders, and thousands of spectators left me with few photo opportunities. I decided to go forContinue reading “An uncommon day”
A welcome surprise after a pedal
Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Liz, who is down in the south at the moment. She visited East Carlton Park near Corby and came across this fine specimen. It made me think of Christmas for some reason. After several windy days, we had a much calmer day here today with the promise ofContinue reading “A welcome surprise after a pedal”
Off to see the sea
Today’s guest picture is another from Mary Jo’s trip to New Zealand. It shows South Taranaki Bight, a fierce place, Mary Jo says. She is back in Canada and having to spend a fortnight ‘self isolating’ on her return to the country. We were promised a dry day and we got one so that wasContinue reading “Off to see the sea”
A change of plan
Today’s guest picture is another from Venetia’s visit to the Taunton Flower show. They really know how to enjoy a good time there. Unfortunately, Sandy’s new bike did not arrive on schedule so with nothing better to do, I set out on a solo ride, hoping that the good weather that had greeted the dayContinue reading “A change of plan”
On the rack
Today’s guest picture comes from camera club member Simon. He suggested the theme for tonight’s meeting and then found that he couldn’t come. He sent me this contribution in lieu. Prizes (token) for telling me where he was. Yet another grey and windy day welcomed us when we woke. Everybody I met had the sameContinue reading “On the rack”
Short of both sunshine and an instant cure
Today’s guest picture is another look at the supersized crazy golf course in Nottingham. My brother Andrew passed it on his way to classes at the university. I was hoping for a bright day today so that I could take some seaside picture when I went to visit my physio who lives on the SolwayContinue reading “Short of both sunshine and an instant cure”
