Today’s guest picture is another from Dropscone’s Orkney adventure. He says that they are having to cope with gales. He doesn’t say if they went swimming. After some overnight rain, we had a generally very sunny day here, although a spot or two of rain in the afternoon made hanging out the washing a bitContinue reading “Club comes up trumps”

A riverside outing
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary who was swanning around today. It seems to be getting a little hotter every day at the moment, and for a brief moment this afternoon, we touched 85°F (which is just under 30°C) according to our local weather station. This led to some rationing of how muchContinue reading “A riverside outing”

Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Sandy. He went on a tour to Falkirk today where he met the Kelpies.

For a change, we had some sunshine here too today, but as it came hand in hand with a very gusty and nippy east wind and a drop inContinue reading “A drop of golden sun”
A great meeting
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent Venetia, who found herself, with a crowd of other musicians, singing the European National Anthem very loudly outside the Houses of Parliament to indicate their support for free movement for musicians after any Brexit. This is niche protesting brought to a fine art. There were no protestsContinue reading “A great meeting”
The sharpest cut
Today’s guest picture comes from Tom in South Africa. He was in a position to see the famous Table Mountain but found it covered by the cloud known as the Table Cloth. We had another dry and cloudy day here today. In theory it was quite warm but in practice a real chill in theContinue reading “The sharpest cut”
