Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. Like my sister Susan, she visited Kenwood House recently. She chose this wonderful copper beech as her subject for photography. After a comparatively warm night, we had a warm day. It wasn’t very warm, just about average for the time of year, but it shows how coldContinue reading “Warmer”

Garden party
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia, who if it had not been for the virus would have been visiting us this month. She has a fine crop of daisies in her garden. The temperature warmed up a bit today and thanks to the slight relaxation of the lockdown, we were able toContinue reading “Garden party”

I remark that it must be hard to keep a flying goldfish in a bowl. It was aContinue reading “Three journeys”

Today’s guest picture was sent to me by my daughter Annie, who has been in Devon. It just goes to show, she says, that they have gates down there too. Since it was both a pleasant day and a Sunday, I took the speedy bike out for a spin up the main road to theContinue reading “A bit of everything”
Unexpected treat
Today’s guest picture is from another visit earlier this month to mainland Europe by my brother. This time his wife and he were in Bruges where they saw this 11th Century hospital across a canal. After an early breakfast, Mrs Tootlepedal left for Edinburgh where she lent a helping hand with Matilda. She took aContinue reading “Unexpected treat”
