Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Liz. She went for a walk in the woods today and got a big surprise. The wood carver has been at work again. We had another lovely day today, but in spite of the sunshine it was still a bit autumnal as far as the temperature went. IContinue reading “Not more butterflies! I am afraid so.”

To the hills, to the hills!
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who has been visiting the Lake District where she enjoyed one of Ruskin’s favourites, the view of Derwentwater from Friar’s Crag. After our spell of cool changeable weather, we got back to a hot summer day today and I hardly like to say this, but it wasContinue reading “To the hills, to the hills!”
In the garden
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan who was taking some refreshment in Russell Square when she noticed that she was being watched. We had a day of almost uninterrupted sunshine and light winds, ideal for pottering about the garden so this is what I did. I thought of going for a bike rideContinue reading “In the garden”
Full of it
Today’s guest picture comes from my Manitoba correspondent Mary Jo. She is currently on holiday in England and came across this fine gate in Salisbury. Mrs Tootlepedal has been wanting a bit a manure to get her garden off to a good start for the next growing season so she had a word with aContinue reading “Full of it”
Good use of a grey day
Today’s guest picture most unusually comes from Mrs Tootlepedal. She took this picture of our neighbour Liz hard at work in the dam. Unlike yesterday, I hardly stirred from the house and garden all day. I did pop up to the town after breakfast to oversee the transfer of some unwanted stacking chairs from theContinue reading “Good use of a grey day”
Action
Today’s guest picture is another from Dropscone’s continental excursion and shows a fine bridge over the Schlei at Kappeln in Schleswig-Flensburg. Dropscone points out that it is just the same as Tower Bridge in London….but without the towers of course. Our spell of warm weather continued today and it was up to a most unseasonalContinue reading “Action”
The birds and the bees (and the butterflies)
Today’s guest picture is another of my sister Mary’s studies of the lakes and ponds of London’s parks. This one is the small lake in Parliament Hill Fields We woke to the coldest morning of the autumn so far at a meagre 4 degrees C and to find the town well covered in mist. ItContinue reading “The birds and the bees (and the butterflies)”
A surprise outcome
As I know you have all been missing her, here is a recent photo of the world’s greatest baby as guest picture of the day, probably taken by her mother. We are in an excellent spell of fine weather with light winds at the moment and the only downside is that this leads to chillyContinue reading “A surprise outcome”
Slow day
Today’s artistic guest picture was sent to me by a fellow blogger Marie who saw a guest picture from my daughter-in-law of a cruise ship in Leith and was reminded of the days when she worked in the cruise business. It shows the Swan Hellenic ship, Minerva. We had a cool and dry morning toContinue reading “Slow day”
The real Bew castle
Today’s picture is another from the camera of Langholm exile Tom Elliot. It is an eye catching bougainvillea. It was another grey day when we woke up and as we had planned an outing with Jean, we were a bit worried about a forecast of rain to come. I stared out of the window…. …whileContinue reading “The real Bew castle”
