Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. They don’t just have sun in East Wemyss, they have red admiral butterflies too. We had plenty of sun here today, and as it didn’t get hot but stayed around 18°C all day, it was a very pleasant late summer day. Glancing out of the window atContinue reading “Swanning about”

Not a dull moment
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. She was greatly cheered up by meeting this colourful cow yesterday. We had another cool, dry and occasionally sunny day here today. It had been below freezing overnight and was only 3°C when I got up. It soon warmed up a bit, and it was 6° whenContinue reading “Not a dull moment”

We had a bright but slightly hazy day for my second trip to Dumfries InfirmaryContinue reading “Step two”
Hard to imagine a better day
Today’s picture shows a lovely sunny day in Langholm this morning… …so needless to say, we had made a plan to leave the town as soon as possible. This meant an early visit to the producers’ market to stock up on fish, cheese and venison mince followed by a rendezvous with Sandy at Wauchope Cottage.
