Today’s guest picture, taken by my brother Andrew, shows the old Midland Railway bridge across the river in Derby. The bridge is now used by cyclists and pedestrians. To get the major disappointment of the day out of the way right at the start of this post, my electric bike was not ready to beContinue reading “Two hair cuts”

At a standstill
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It shows an example of the increasingly common outbreak of post box bothering which is becoming all the fashion these days. We had hoped to be able to go and sing in the church choir this morning, as this wouldn’t require any great travelling. However, it wasContinue reading “At a standstill”
He is no better, he is much the same
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She went to visit a friend’s garden where the peonies are in full bloom. A couple of friends had kindly offered to do some shopping for Mrs Tootlepedal and myself as we are still rather poorly, but it was a lovely morning, so I thought that IContinue reading “He is no better, he is much the same”
Taking it gently
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She liked this gate at The Newt when she walked through the gardens there recently. After the modest collapse of the rider and the complete failure of the electric bicycle yesterday, I took things very easily today. In fact, I was still in my dressing gownContinue reading “Taking it gently”
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”
Six bridges!
Today’s guest picture is another stolen from contributions sent to me for the last camera club meeting. This is a view that Stan took when he was up a hill in the Ewes Valley. It shows just how flat and narrow the valley bottom is. Our spell of very mixed weather continued today, and itContinue reading “Six bridges!”
Visitors
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He is on his travels again and visited Lincoln recently. We had a warm and pleasant day here today, with only a brief flurry of rain to make us nervous. We were expecting visitors so while Mrs Tootlepedal baked a cake, I swept the paths in theContinue reading “Visitors”
Fame at last.
Today’s guest picture comes from my walking friend Mark. It shows a curious old gentleman who went with him on a walk yesterday. We were up and away promptly after breakfast when we cycled up to join the volunteers at the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve tree nursery. The last few trays of seedlings needed toContinue reading “Fame at last.”
Into every life a little rain must fall
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. On his way from East Wemyss to West Wemyss today, he took in this charming view. We woke up here to find that a little rain had indeed fallen into our life, but sadly it was just a very little rain. It had dampened the surface ofContinue reading “Into every life a little rain must fall”
Goodbye, hello
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He was on a father’s day walk with his boys today when he met these two interesting customers. We had a fine summer day here, with plenty of sun, warm temperatures and not too much wind. It is a pity that almost perfect cycling days often seemContinue reading “Goodbye, hello”
