Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He tells me that he got hissed at for taking it. The highlight of a cloudy morning was the arrival of Dropscone, who was well enough to be able to potter round to us on foot, carrying some of his excellent home made scones. Mrs Tootlepedal joinedContinue reading “Deprivetion”

A testing pedal and an enjoyable tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She went on azalea hunt and found this fine display at Richmond. We had another beautifully sunny morning here, but as there was also a very brisk easterly wind blowing, it was far from T-shirt weather when we cycled up to the tree nursery at Cronksbank afterContinue reading “A testing pedal and an enjoyable tootle”
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”
Damped down
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony, and it just goes to show that the sun doesn’t always shine in East Wemyss. We have left our frosty nights behind for the moment at any rate, and it was pleasantly warm when I went out to fill up the bird feeder at breakfast time. TheContinue reading “Damped down”

A toddle and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from sunny East Wemyss. Our son Tony wishes to point that they get the moon there too. We got plenty of sunshine here today, but as the temperature was a measly -5°C at breakfast time, there was no inclination to go outside and do some sunbathing. Mrs Tootlepedal went off toContinue reading “A toddle and a tootle”
A surprise
Just to show that it still often sunny in East Wemyss, our son Tony sent us this picture taken a couple of days ago. We expected it to be cold this morning, but all the same we got quite a shock when we looked out of the window when we got up. The snow didn’tContinue reading “A surprise”
The weather gods play fair
Today’s guest photograph comes from my brother Andrew. He was pursuing his hobby of photographing swans when he discovered that on this occasion, all his swans were geese For many years, an eight mile New Year’s day run has been organised in Langholm on the basis of starting when you like but trying to timeContinue reading “The weather gods play fair”
A ray of sunshine
Today’s guest picture is another from my Somerset correspondent Venetia’s trip to Norway. She sent me this ‘postcard’ from the most northerly town in mainland Europe. We had a better day here than yesterday as far as the weather went. Dropscone was complaining about the cold wind when he cycled round for scones and coffeeContinue reading “A ray of sunshine”
