Today’s guest picture comes from Mrs Tootlepedal. She has been knitting mittens for our granddaughter Evie to wear in this cold spell.

Icing on the cake
Today’s guest picture comes from Annie and Joe who had taken our granddaughter Evie down to the river Thames to enjoy the golden evening light. The temperature fell very low (-10C, 14F) last night here, and when I looked at our thermometer just before midday, it was still pretty chilly outside our kitchen window.

The calm before the storm
Today’s guest picture is an absolute stonker from my sister Susan who was on the south bank of the Thames a couple of days ago. She liked the working river but i have cropped it to emphasise the sky. The radio and TV have been full of warnings about the coming storm. It will beContinue reading “The calm before the storm”
