Today’s guest picture is another from my sister Mary’s recent visit to the Lake District. She sat on the shore of Grasmere while my brother headed for the hills. We were offered all sorts of discouraging weather by the forecasters, including thunder and lightning, but it was calm and dry as we cycled to churchContinue reading “Not at the races”

Assault and battery
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He met my two sisters in London today, and had a moment beside the canal before he caught his train home. We were promised a warm and dry day today, and up to a point, we got one. However, since the sun didn’t shine and quite aContinue reading “Assault and battery”

It was a day of constant wind here today, often gusting at over 40mph. As a result, apart from going out for a very shortContinue reading “A dull day”
A farewell meal
Today’s guest picture is another from my sister Mary’s Lake District trip and shows the path to Easedale Tarn.

AsContinue reading “A farewell meal”
