Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Simon. He has reached the Isle of Lewis on his Highland tour. This is the Dun Carloway Broch, probably constructed in 200 BC. It has walls so thick that a staircase goes up the middle of them. December started as November finished, with a cold, greyContinue reading “Again and again”

On the edge
Today’s guest picture is another from my brother Andrew who takes a lot of good photographs on his walks. This shows the Derby Museum of Making on a peaceful day last week. After a very windy day yesterday, we had a pleasantly calm day today. It was chilly but dry as I walked over theContinue reading “On the edge”
A restful day
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She was given these roses by a neighbour who had cut them off because they were overhanging Caroline’s garden path. We had another fine and warm day here, but the wind blew so briskly all day that it discouraged me from walking or cycling. Perhaps the pollenContinue reading “A restful day”
Very quiet
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce who is over in the east. He visited Chillingham castle and found a display of McLaren cars. I would have loved cars like this when I was young but now they just look difficult to get in to and impossible to get out of. We had aContinue reading “Very quiet”
A route revised
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. He was out on a walk when he met three donkeys who were perhaps hoping for a snack The north wind was still blowing, though only gently, so we had another cool day. There was an occasional glimpse of sunshine, but there was also a rather surprisingContinue reading “A route revised”
A moist morning
Today’s guest picture comes from ever sunny East Wemyss, where our son Tony found a forest of stones on the beach and added his own effort (complete with flower on top). It was far from sunny here after a second night with rain and the hills were covered with mist when we got up. ThereContinue reading “A moist morning”
Party pooper
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He came across this very colourful field on one of his permitted walks. He can’t say what it is that the farmer is growing. My day started with a Zoom visit to Australia. My sister Susan’s friend Stephen has contributed guest pictures to the blog and asContinue reading “Party pooper”
Real life
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who knows that I like a neat lawn. She found this one near a well known large house. It was one of those days when it might have rained at any time and there was evidence that it had rained… …but in the end, it kept reasonablyContinue reading “Real life”
At last, a tootle and a pedal
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She encountered this impressive prancing beast at Covent Garden. It is doing some serious strutting but as it seems to be standing in the sledge it is supposed to be pulling, it looks like a bit of a freeloader to me. It was cold, grey but dryContinue reading “At last, a tootle and a pedal”
Trying my best
Today’s guest picture come from Venetia’s trip to Toulouse a couple of weeks ago. She came across this very cheerful lady with a rather macabre exhibit in a local flea market there. Our spell of remarkably fine weather continued with temperatures so far above the seasonal average that we were quite pleased to find themContinue reading “Trying my best”
