Today’s guest picture comes from my Lancashire correspondent Paul. The shortage of heavy goods vehicle drivers must be hitting home if beer from Blackburn needs to be delivered to Burnsall, 38 miles away, like this. We had another dry, cool, grey morning here today. However, there was a welcome burst of sunshine in the afternoon.Continue reading “In fluenza and out fluenza”

Talking to myself
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia, who is in Cornwall. Today she visited the Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, near Penzance. She found this nicely painted bench in front of a bridge. Knowing that I like both benches and bridges, she sent this picture to me. It was a rather autumnal and misty morningContinue reading “Talking to myself”
Getting around
Today’s guest picture comes from my eldest sister Susan. She has been visiting my younger brother Andrew for a couple of days, and came across these striking pansies when they stopped for a coffee on an outing. We had a fine day here, made all the better by reports from my sisters of a veryContinue reading “Getting around”
A new walk
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Tony. He asks whether we think the picture was taken in sunny East Wemyss or on a Greek Island. We know the answer. Our run of cool weather continued here today, and once again infrequent and short rain showers made it hard to plan when to hang theContinue reading “A new walk”
Hot work
Today’s guest picture is another from Bruce’s visit to the woods yesterday. He came across this ancient tree, affectionately known as the King of the Kernigal. It was another hot day here, and a rather muggy one too making anything more than gentle work seem quite hard. It was an easy crossword day so IContinue reading “Hot work”
Hot foot
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He is visiting Aranjuez in Spain. It is 30 mins from Madrid and is a town built around a Royal Palace. His picture shows one of the rooms in the so called ‘Labourer’s House’. I don’t think that the labourer lives there any more. We had aContinue reading “Hot foot”
Going wild
Today’s guest picture shows a feature of the Sheffield Peace Gardens. They were seen by Bruce on a recent stay in the city. Today started very oddly when I woke up realising that I had just had a good night’s sleep. This was so unusual that it took me until Dropscone arrived with Friday treacle sconesContinue reading “Going wild”
Unexpected traffic jams
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo from Manitoba. From Manitoba but not in Manitoba as she has taken a break from endless winter to catch a ray or two in Antigua. It looks like a good decision as more snow has arrived at home. We had a generally sunny, almost totally dry day hereContinue reading “Unexpected traffic jams”
Hounded
Today’s guest picture shows a new style of letterbox which my friend Bruce spotted while out in Langholm. You have to get up very early to post a letter in that part of town. We got up quite early today as Mrs Tootlepedal and members of her embroiderers’ group were due to spend a morningContinue reading “Hounded”
In the steps of Telford
Today’s guest picture is another from Dropscone’s visit to Brooklands. As well as the old motor racing track, he and Susan met an even faster bit of transport history.. It was just above freezing when we got up but there was no sign of any ice and the sun was out and it was aContinue reading “In the steps of Telford”
