Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She enjoyed a very sunny day in Regents Park when she went for a game of tennis yesterday. We had another day of wall to wall sunshine here, and though it was pleasantly cool after breakfast, it had got a bit too hot (25°C) for total comfortContinue reading “Varied choral experiences”

Watering and wandering
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited the Rose Garden in Regents Park after playing tennis on Saturday.. More good weather and a fairly active day led to too many photographs being taken. Today’s post is heavy on galleries to enable judicious skipping for busy readers. I started the day by preparingContinue reading “Watering and wandering”
Sunday, a day of rest
Toady’s guest picture comes from blog reader Michelle. She kindly sent me this picture of a waterfall on the Burn O’Vat at Muir of Dinnet, which is just within the boundaries of the Cairngorm National Park in Aberdeenshire. She points out that it has not rained a lot there recently! It did not rain hereContinue reading “Sunday, a day of rest”
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”
Straight up
Today’s guest guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She has been visiting local gardens, and kindly sent me this picturesque scene. We had another lovely spring day here, not sunny all the time, but sunny enough to keep us cheerful. I dillied and dallied a bit, doing some tidying up and shredding ofContinue reading “Straight up”
Spotters spotted
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He headed north to Penrith today and stopped at the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle for a lunch break. It didn’t get as cold overnight as had been feared, but it was still a chilly morning with a keen north westerly wind when we got up. IContinue reading “Spotters spotted”
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”
Miles better
Today’s guest picture shows some colourful wildflowers captured by my brother Andrew on his walk yesterday. We had a warm and sunny day here today, which was very welcome. I got up feeling a lot better and started the day with great care, anxious not to throw away this happy state. I only produced noticeableContinue reading “Miles better”
Stepping back
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Gavin. He recently spent some time in Wigtown in the west of our region where he watched the tide come in to fill the little harbour. With no noticeable improvement in the state of my chest when I got up this morning, I bit on the bullet, abandonedContinue reading “Stepping back”
Getting cross
Today’s guest picture is another from camera club member, Stan. He knows that I like gates and took this picture during our little fall of snow in March just for me. After yesterday’s rain, we welcomed a much better day here today. We had some business to do in the morning, but when it wasContinue reading “Getting cross”
