Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He stopped on his way to Morecambe today to walk up a hill in the Lake District and get a very good view of Glenridding. It was a reasonably calm and dry day here today so a bike ride seemed a sensible way to pass the time.Continue reading “Getting about”

Flat out (and back)
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew who found that it was an extremely calm day as he walked into town this afternoon. We got up to another standard cold and grey day here, but the wind was light and it didn’t feel too bad as we cycled to church to sing in theContinue reading “Flat out (and back)”
A pin drop
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. A few days ago, he was walking round the path on the Castleholm created when Ty Pennington came to Langholm some years ago. After several days suffering from the effects of Atlantic low pressure, our weather took a turn for the better today when a small ridgeContinue reading “A pin drop”
Testing the battery
Today guest picture comes from our younger son Alistair. He is on the west coast of Scotland at the moment and finds that the sun shines there too. The sun shone here all day. After breakfast, Mrs Tootlepedal went up to help staff a stall which the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve was running at theContinue reading “Testing the battery”
Acting my age
Today’s guest picture comes from our younger son Alistair. It shows a loaf made to their own ad hoc recipe by his wife and daughter, Clare and Matilda. He tells me that it tasted as good as it looks. I also made a loaf of bread today, but as it required the use of ourContinue reading “Acting my age”
Crossing the Lyne
Today’s guest picture comes from sunny East Wemyss. Our son Tony thought that it was a particularly calm if rather hazy day on the Forth of Forth. We had a calm and sunny day here too today, after some seasonally appropriate early morning autumnal mist. Under the circumstances, a bike ride seemed to be aContinue reading “Crossing the Lyne”
Enjoyable sitting around
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. There are fruit trees planted in his neighbourhood, with the fruit freely available for passers by to pick and eat on their walks. We had another grey day here, but as it stayed dry and the wind was very gentle, it was pleasant enough. Mind you, itContinue reading “Enjoyable sitting around”
A song cycle day
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew and shows the pond behind his house. We had a very nice day here today, with an average temperature for the whole day up to the moment when I started writing this post of 48.5°F (9°C), topping out at 52°F (11°C). It was sunny for most ofContinue reading “A song cycle day”
Talking to my legs
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Gavin. He is visiting his son in California where he was impressed to see that every other parking space at his son’s place of work had an electric charging point.. We had an unusual day here today in that it didn’t rain at all. People were walking roundContinue reading “Talking to my legs”
A plan comes together
Today’s guest picture comes from a visit my sister Mary paid to Queen Mary’s Garden in Regent’s Park. She seems to find good weather for her visits to the park. I have been a bit wimpish lately about cycling in brisk winds so I made a plan to get up promptly this morning and toContinue reading “A plan comes together”
