Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She decided to take a visit to St James’s Park on the sunny bank holiday yesterday. She found that hundreds of others had had the same idea. We were roused from a rather boring contemplation of another dull grey morning by some very loud and interesting noisesContinue reading “A polar surprise”

Chilling out
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He enjoyed this creatively titled pile of logs. The day started off being cold and grey, and it kept this up, with the temperature topping out at 6°C in the afternoon. On the plus side, it stayed dry all day, except for the exact moment when weContinue reading “Chilling out”
Feeling the cold
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He spotted this charming bridge in the grounds of Nottingham University today. We had another cold, dry and grey day here. It was made to feel even colder than it was by one of those winds that goes straight through you rather than taking the trouble toContinue reading “Feeling the cold”
A pedal and a tootle
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She visited the Royal Academy in London which has unveiled a monumental new public sculpture by the Bahamian-born interdisciplinary artist Tavares Strachan. We had a grey and chilly day here today, too cold to attract the frogs to come up and get their pictures taken. It wasn’tContinue reading “A pedal and a tootle”
An electric shock
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She had a very unflustered visitor sitting on her garden wall a day or two ago. We had a gloriously sunny day today. On the down side, it was below freezing when we woke up, but it soon warmed up a little. Although the temperature rose, itContinue reading “An electric shock”
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”
Pedalling and shopping
Today’s guest picture shows a sunny early morning in East Wemyss. Our son Tony was out with his dogs this morning. After yesterday’s sunshine and snow, both were in short supply today as we went back to grey here. It was dry though and there was no ice about, so we were able to cycleContinue reading “Pedalling and shopping”
A niggle keeps me in
I looked in my files for a guest photo today and found this fine sunset in Worcester, SA, sent to me just before Christmas by Langholm exile Tom. It was another day here with neither a visible sunrise nor much of a sunset as it was grey all day. It was warm for the timeContinue reading “A niggle keeps me in”
Musical pews, chairs and seats
Today’s guest picture comes from our granddaughter Evie who recently took her parents to enjoy the lights at Kew Gardens. As she is only three, it is possible that she commissioned one of her parents to take the actual photograph. It was dull but dry when we got up, and Mrs Tootlepedal and I tookContinue reading “Musical pews, chairs and seats”
A tootle but no pedal
Today’s guest picture was taken by Mrs Tootlepedal. It shows an artistic darn which she has made to fill a hole in the sleeve of one of my jerseys. She was feeling very creative at the time. I looked out of the window just before I went to bed last night, and was much struckContinue reading “A tootle but no pedal”
