Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. I said that she had seen azaleas at Kenwood in yesterday’s post but I wasn’t paying attention. She had visited the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park, where she also saw this pretty stream. Mrs Tootlepedal had put the trail camera out overnight, and when we checked inContinue reading “Fooled by the forecast”

Better than expected
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. I never tire of his East Wemyss scenes, and I am grateful that he gets up early to walk his dogs before going to work. This one was taken at 5.45 am on Tuesday. Unlike Tony, I don’t leap up in the morning, and for theContinue reading “Better than expected”
I wandered lonely in a cloud
Today’s guest picture comes from Sandy. He has temporarily forsaken Langholm for some sun, sea, and sand in Benidorm. He was impressed by this tree. We could have done with a bit of that sunshine here today but it wasn’t to be. It was reasonably warm (10°C/50°F) by the afternoon and pretty calm too, butContinue reading “I wandered lonely in a cloud”
A damp squib
Today’s guest picture comes from my Manitoba correspondent Mary Jo. Wide awake readers looking at the picture will probably realise that she is not currently in Manitoba. She is house sitting on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii and this was her breakfast view. She tells me that it’s a tough job but that someone hasContinue reading “A damp squib”
A change of weather and a change of mind
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo in Manitoba. She spotted a good example of a snow angel and liked the careful work involved. We actually had a glimpse of blue sky here as we got up this morning. However, it soon disappeared and I got rained on when I cycled round to the cornerContinue reading “A change of weather and a change of mind”
A gentle day
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She recorded another cause for alarm for the shepherds of Stockwell in London. She tells me that she could have got a better picture this morning if she had gone outside, but it was just too cold. No shepherds were alarmed in Langholm as we woke toContinue reading “A gentle day”
A surprisingly dry wet walk
Today’s guest picture brings a little sunshine to another grey day here. My brother Andrew enjoyed the setting sun picking out the fine new pedestrian bridge across the A52 in Derby yesterday. Dropscone brightened up a rainy morning when he arrived (bearing scones) to share a cup of coffee or two with me and MrsContinue reading “A surprisingly dry wet walk”
Hitting the heights
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He passed this old building, once a home for nurses in Derby, and now with just a frontage left standing. After a spell of grey and wet weather here, it was a pleasure to get up to a sunny morning today. The pleasure was slightly modified byContinue reading “Hitting the heights”
More mist
Today’s guest picture come from my sister Mary. Finding that she had a vacant day in her diary yesterday, she took the train to Peterborough and visited the cathedral there. We had another misty day here much like yesterday, with the difference that it was a degree or two colder. It was below freezing whenContinue reading “More mist”
Biscuits, cows and cycling
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo’s visit to British Columbia. She passed these magnificent sandstone cliffs called The Hoodoos on her way home. After overnight rain, we woke to a rather miserable wet morning here, but it was still warm enough to keep the colour in the garden. It was the sort of dayContinue reading “Biscuits, cows and cycling”
