Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She and my brother Andrew visited the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels on their recent rip to Belgium. We woke up to another sunny day here, with no sign of early morning frost. We made the best of the morning by setting to and gettingContinue reading “Potatoes, purchases and peat”

Communication
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia, who is cruising the Caledonian Canal this week. She got the opportunity to see bottlenose dolphins in the Moray Firth before she took to the canal. The promised overnight wet weather did arrive and persist for a while, and our local weather station recorded an inchContinue reading “Communication”
Deprivetion
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He tells me that he got hissed at for taking it. The highlight of a cloudy morning was the arrival of Dropscone, who was well enough to be able to potter round to us on foot, carrying some of his excellent home made scones. Mrs Tootlepedal joinedContinue reading “Deprivetion”
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 withContinue reading “A visit to hospital”
Fleeting moments
Today’s guest picture comes from Dropscone. He had occasion to visit Talkin Tarn near Brampton last week while on an outing with his oldest son who was visiting him. They didn’t walk round the tarn though. It was still snowing when we went to bed last night, so there was a moment of anticipation whenContinue reading “Fleeting moments”
Pulling, pushing, perambulating and playing
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found this fine mediaeval bridge for me on a visit to Fountains Abbey. We had our first genuinely chilly morning since the late spring today. Our local weather station recorded a low of 3°C (38°F) in the early hours. It was a generally sunny day though,Continue reading “Pulling, pushing, perambulating and playing”
Two choirs and three bridges
Today’s guest picture comes from my files. Looking back, I don’t think that I have used this fine slightly surreal shot taken by my brother Andrew. (If I have, it deserves another outing anyway.) It was rainy when we got up, and the prospects did not look good. However, it stopped raining as soon asContinue reading “Two choirs and three bridges”
A diversion
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony’s recent Highland holiday and a reminder of the good weather he and Marianne enjoyed while they were there. We could have done with a bit of that good weather here today, but instead we got another day of rain showers. I filled the feeder and hadContinue reading “A diversion”
A quicker walk
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony’s Highland holiday. We had a rather cool day here, but curiously, once the temperature had struggled up to 15°C (58°C), it stayed there for the rest of the day, and it is still about the same now as I type these words in the evening. It wasContinue reading “A quicker walk”
Stretching legs and fingers
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony’s Highland holiday. He has had some fine weather up there. I had quite a full day here today, though I allowed myself a gentle start. It was warm and cloudy when Dropscone came round for coffee (and scones) and Mrs Tootlepedal went off to have herContinue reading “Stretching legs and fingers”
