Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Susan. It shows the handsome church where both she and my sister Mary read lessons at a carol service last Sunday. After our unusually warm day yesterday, temperatures came down to a more normal December level and the thermometer hung around at about 6°C all day. It didn’tContinue reading “A pedal at last”

Cutting it fine
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony in East Wemyss. It shows once again that he is living in the sunshine capital of Scotland. But he still needed a fire on in the evening. It was a great deal of warmer in the house when we came down for breakfast today, and itContinue reading “Cutting it fine”
Flat
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair in Edinburgh. It was snowing there this morning but it didn’t fill him with the spirit of winter wonderland. He had a car journey to make. It was grey and frosty again here but it didn’t snow. We had a leisurely morning and around about coffee time,Continue reading “Flat”
Another (very small) mountain to climb
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She took a boat trip down the river Thames to Greenwich today and passed the famous Cutty Sark which these days seems to float on a building. Our current cold spell got colder today. The overnight temperature dropped to -5°C (22°°F) at breakfast time and didn’t riseContinue reading “Another (very small) mountain to climb”
Many layers
Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. She is on a short break and found an unusual bird in the hotel car park. It was quite nippy when we got up, with the thermometer showing 2°C. However, this seems to be the lowest that it got overnight, as there was no sign of frost.Continue reading “Many layers”
An unexpected visitor
Today’s guest picture shows Tony’s dogs enjoying some of that eternal sunshine in East Wemyss. After our mini heatwave, we returned to more sensible temperatures here today. If the sun had shone, it would have been perfect, but it turned out to be cloudy all day and we had to have a jumper on forContinue reading “An unexpected visitor”
One to go
Today’s guest picture from our son Tony shows an East Wemyss stairway. Not the ‘stairway to heaven’ but the next best thing. We had a grey but dry day today and with the temperature well above freezing, it seemed like a good day for both a bicycle ride and putting another slab in place inContinue reading “One to go”
Mrs Tootlepedal goes up in the world
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She has a very tall wall at the bottom of her little garden and she was quite surprised to look up one day to find a fox sitting on top of it. She is going to try to get a better picture next time it appears there.Continue reading “Mrs Tootlepedal goes up in the world”
The curtain falls
Today’s guest comes from our son Tony. In spite of the endless sunshine, Christmas does come to East Wemyss and Tony likes to make good use of a log or two to welcome it. The day started with a trip to church where we sang some cheerful hymns chosen by a visiting minister and followedContinue reading “The curtain falls”
Home again
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He gets up early to walk his dogs and as a result sees sights like this. It was another thin day for pictures for me as we spent a lot of the daylight hours getting back to Langholm after three days of fun in the city. TheContinue reading “Home again”
