Solo singing

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She was blessed with good weather yesterday when she visited Regents Park to play tennis. We woke to another in our recent series of sunny mornings, but as it was -4°C there wasn’t much temptation to rush out and do some sunbathing. As Mrs Tootlepedal is still

Bewitched

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. The river in Derby has continued to be high and although the river looks fairly calm in his picture, the swing bridge remains open to avoid the possibility of it being damaged by trees floating down the river. Luckily other bridges are available for access to coffee

Pushing a provisional pedal

Today’s guest picture comes from my ex-colleague Ada. She cycled along along the Loire Valley cycle path yesterday, and visited this fine château and gardens on her way. Google tells me that it is the Château de Villandry. We had another below freezing morning today, but once again there was no ice to make walking

Snap happy

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She found a very handsome ship in a bottle on a visit to Greenwich Park recently. It got very close to freezing again last night, and it was still pretty chilly when we went down to the Langholm Initiative to borrow a projector and screen for tonight’s

Singing and smiling

Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. He sent it just to let me know that the sun is still shining in East Wemyss. The sun was shining here when we got up. There was a price to pay though, and that was the below zero temperature of -2°C (28.6°F), with frost on

Light at the end of a dark day

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother. I have rotated his picture to fit it in, and I am impressed that he managed to capture a squirrel with a phone camera. View it with your head cocked to the right. It was a miserable day here from start to finish as far as the weather

And the rest

Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony’s holiday in the north east of Scotland. They took the coastal path to Portnockie today. We had a fine and breezy day here today, but I wasn’t able to make very good use of it because my niggling leg was still niggling. To add to life’s

The weather gods have fun

Today’s unusual guest picture is another from our son Tony’s holiday in the north east with Marianne and the dogs. They took a walk in the woods at Lossiemouth today. We had a warm but pretty windy day today. It wasn’t suitable for cycling, so I was happy to be of some use in the

Another pedal but still no tootle

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. Her passion flower has produced a fruit. Rather annoyingly, a large bottle of milk which I had recently purchased, turned out to be off when we opened it last night. As a result, I had to get dressed and walk up to the town to buy a

On the track to recovery

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. It is a delightful study of the English having fun at the seaside (while waiting for a thunderstorm to come in). I would like to start this post by thanking all those who took the time to offer me good wishes in the comments on yesterday’s post.
