Varied choral experiences

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She enjoyed a very sunny day in Regents Park when she went for a game of tennis yesterday. We had another day of wall to wall sunshine here, and though it was pleasantly cool after breakfast, it had got a bit too hot (25°C) for total comfort

Obliging weather

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She visited the botanic gardens on her way to the seaside in Southsea today. The forecast was for a cloudy day here today, and when our friend Stan leaned over the hedge as he passed by . . . . . . he wondered if it was

A visit to hospital

Today’s guest picture goes to show that the sun continues to shine in East Wemyss. You have to be up at six o’clock in the morning though, as our son Tony was yesterday, if you want to catch views like this. It was a first rate morning for cycling here today, dry, warm and with

Creative croaking

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She took my brother Andrew up to Kenwood House in the pursuit of spring colour today. We had recovered enough to go to church to sing with the choir this morning. Although I was a bit croaky, it helped me get some good bass notes in the

Stepping back

Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He is on a trip to London and took the opportunity to visit Regent’s Park to have coffee with my sister Mary after she had played tennis there this morning. I was very disappointed when I woke up today to find that yesterday’s trip to Longtown to

Finally!

Today’s guest picture comes from South Africa. Langholm exile Tom tells me that they are slipping into autumn there, but in the meantime, his bottlebrush tree is going very well. A pleasantly warm spring day here greatly helped with our continuing recovery. All the same, we didn’t do a lot in the morning, although the

A pedal and a tootle

Today’s guest picture comes from our neighbour Libbie, who is visiting Perthshire. Knowing that I like trees, she sent me this picture of the Fortingall Yew, known for being one of the oldest trees in Britain, with modern estimates of its age being between 2,000 and 3,000 years. We had a day of variable weather

Increasing our range

Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony in East Wemyss. It shows the seals who arrived the day after we left. We had a better day than the forecast suggested. It was grey, but it was calm and pleasantly warm for the time of year at 55°F/13°C after breakfast. I went up to the

Levelling up

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She took this peaceful canal scene today just to show the rest of her family that she had been out and about. The forecast was right, and it was a bit cooler today than the past two days. However, it was only a bit cooler, and as

Tremendously sociable

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She was playing tennis in Regents Park again yesterday, and couldn’t help noticing that the park gardeners have been busy. We had another below zero morning (-1°C, 29°F) followed by a fine day here. We hardly had time to notice the weather though, as we were the
