Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She was rather taken by the Dior decorations on the front of Harrods as she passed by the famous shop on her way to an exhibition today. I suppose that they do sum up the modern spirit of Christmas rather well. The change to cooler weather arrivedContinue reading “Zooming about”

Back in the groove again
Today’s guest picture(s) come from Dropscone’s holiday in Devon. He took a trip on the Babbacombe cliff railway. We had a very familiar sort of day here now that we are back home. We rose rather late to let us recover from the journey yesterday, and then we had coffee with our neighbour Margaret. ItContinue reading “Back in the groove again”
Flower power
Today’s guest picture is a one off. It shows two elderly people having a quiet sit down while visiting their granddaughter in London. It was taken by the granddaughter’s mother. We had another pretty hot and sunny day today as the jet stream continued to hold the Atlantic low at bay. At its peak, theContinue reading “Flower power”
A pedal and a push
Today’s guest picture, taken by our son Tony at quarter to six this morning shows the sunrise in East Wemyss. Not perhaps technically the greatest picture because of the low light but definitely one of the best sunrises. I didn’t get up quite that early (to say the least) so I missed any Langholm sunriseContinue reading “A pedal and a push”
A matching pair
Today’s guest picture is from Paul. He was exploring the tracks round Entwistle Reservoir and spotted this handsome heron. Our excellent spell of summer weather continued here with another warm dry and mostly sunny day. We could get used to this sort of thing. I was reading the newspapers after breakfast when Mrs Tootlepedal calledContinue reading “A matching pair”
Up and about
Today’s guest picture comes from George, a friend that I met the other day. He asked me about a walk I had done. I suggested that he and his wife might like to try Walk 9 of the Langholm Walks and lo and behold, here is his wife Susan half way round the walk yesterdayContinue reading “Up and about”
New year, same scones
Today’s guest post comes from Venetia who recently went on a music making spree where among other activities, she sang while someone played a sackbut. What is a sackbut? This is a piece of a sackbut: The forecast was right and we had a sunny day here. As is often the case, with winter sunContinue reading “New year, same scones”
Overcome by doubt
Today’s guest picture is another East Wemyss view from our son Tony. They don’t don’t just do golden sunshine and handsome canines there, they do purple skies too. We were intending to catch one of the super duper 5 coach new trains from Lockerbie to Edinburgh today but having checked the early services and foundContinue reading “Overcome by doubt”
An unusual nature reserve
Today’s guest picture was sent to me by Stephen, a friend of my sister Susan. He took this picture of a fabulous Sydney Harbour sunset. The occasion was the opening night of the annual Opera on the Harbour. I hope he will forgive me for only using part of his shot. We had a wonderfully springContinue reading “An unusual nature reserve”
An early chill
Today’s guest picture shows a wonderful sunrise over the Forth captured by our older son Tony as he walked his dogs near his new house on the shore. We had a sunny day here but after a clear night, it was only 2°C when Mrs Tootlepedal got up and she was worried about the garden. Continue reading “An early chill”
