Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She looked out of her window recently and found a visitor doing some sunbathing in her garden. We had another dry day here today, not quite warm enough to sit outside to have coffee with Margaret in the morning, but warm enough by noon for the gardenersContinue reading “A domestic day”

A molehill and a mountain
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. It shows one of his hanging baskets which has survived some pretty some pretty unfriendly weather over recent days. We had another day here which was far better than early forecasts for the week had suggested. Although it was not very warm, the sun shone a lot,Continue reading “A molehill and a mountain”
Better than expected
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony. I never tire of his East Wemyss scenes, and I am grateful that he gets up early to walk his dogs before going to work. This one was taken at 5.45 am on Tuesday. Unlike Tony, I don’t leap up in the morning, and for theContinue reading “Better than expected”
Deja vu
Today’s guest picture comes from Elaine, the sister in law of our neighbour Liz. She is over on the east coast enjoying some fine weather at Beadnell Bay in Northumberland. We had some fine weather here too today, but sadly it didn’t even last until coffee time. It clouded over abruptly, and we sat inContinue reading “Deja vu”
A semi Sandy stroll
Today’s guest picture comes from an ex teaching friend, Jim. He has sent me this picture from a friend of his in Florida, and suggests that I shouldn’t complain too much about having cats visiting my garden when I see what his friend has to put up with. As far as alligators went, we hadContinue reading “A semi Sandy stroll”
A noble outing
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony, and shows a platform having a holiday at East Wemyss. After a frost free night, the morning had a familiar feeling about it involving sunshine, a crossword, compost sieving, coffee and conversation with Liz and Margaret in the garden, daffodil dead heading and wandering about taking pictures.Continue reading “A noble outing”
Laid to rest
Today’s guest picture comes from Langholm exile Tom in South Africa. He found a layer of mist floating above the river when he went out for his morning cycle ride. We had a layer of frost on our lawn yet again when we woke up today, but once again it was followed by a beautifulContinue reading “Laid to rest”
A spring in our step
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony who found this very unexpected thistle pie while out on a walk. He may have had a hand in its creation. The things that people do during lockdown. (He says that the recipe for the pie can be found at http://www.thistlehurtyour hand.com.) The weather changed this morningContinue reading “A spring in our step”
Back on the road again
Today’s guest picture comes from one of my Somerset correspondent Venetia’s recent permitted walks. She thought I might enjoy it as it has a gate and a sort of bridge in it. She was right. Today’s post will be short and may be a bit garbled as I have had a busy day, didn’t takeContinue reading “Back on the road again”
Icicling and bicycling
Today’s guest picture is a weather vane from the Somerset Rural Life Museum sent to me by Venetia, my Somerset correspondent. The weather vane is a memorial to a long serving volunteer at the museum, a nice idea. The weather here was warm and sunny but not quite as warm and sunny as yesterday asContinue reading “Icicling and bicycling”
