Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. It was her daughter Evie’s first birthday today and our sorrow at not being able to be there was compounded by the sight of Annie’s home made cakes that we missed. We were really sad not to be at Evie’s birthday party and only hope that itContinue reading “Keeping in trim”

Two enjoyable outings
Today’s guest picture goes to show that if we see one butterfly in Langholm, our son Tony sees two in sunny East Wemyss. We had another dry day here today, sunny at first but cloudy later. I took advantage of the early sun to go out after breakfast and look at the garden. The rosesContinue reading “Two enjoyable outings”
Mrs Tootlepedal goes round in a circle
Today’s guest picture comes from Sue Bourne, who I met on my walk yesterday. She kindly sent me this striking picture of cladonia lichen which she had seen at Caulside in Canonbie. It was slightly cooler in the morning today when we got up but it was still quite humid. I felt pretty tired andContinue reading “Mrs Tootlepedal goes round in a circle”
A bit of a buzz
Today’s guest picture comes from one of my brother’s walks in his local area. The farmer has had to work round and old water tower to get his field planted.

We were promised a hot, sunny day and we got a pleasantly warm and mostly sunny day which was welcome. The wind was light and I would have liked to have gone out forContinue reading “Not a lot”
Power fencing
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony’s Highland holiday. He has sent me a lot of good pictures but this one gets my seal of approval. We had another fine day and I had hoped to get some useful cycling in, but a sore back when I got up put paid to anyContinue reading “Power fencing”
Trying to gauge the weather correctly
Today’s guest picture comes from Anne, my cello playing friend Mike’s wife, who came across a very odd looking bird at her daughter’s bird feeder. I would like to see red squirrels in our garden. It was one of those days when it was hard to get some satisfactory organisation into my outdoor life thanksContinue reading “Trying to gauge the weather correctly”
One in the eye for me
Today’s guest picture is another from my sister Mary’s visit to the Isabella Plantation at Richmond Park last week. Our welcome spell of dry and often sunny weather continued today, although once again it came with enough added wind to make my morning pedal down to Canonbie and back quite hard work on the returnContinue reading “One in the eye for me”
