Today’s guest picture comes from our son, Alistair. Our granddaughter Matilda made this Easter brownie today. It was below freezing when we got up, and the day stayed grey and chilly. In spite of the coming of storm Dave being heavily advertised in the forecast, it was very calm as I walked along to theContinue reading “An indeterminate day”

Waiting for Dave
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. Her day was greatly brightened by this lovely flowering currant. We had hoped that we were going to avoid the worst of storm Dave, but the forecast is now offering us 65mph gusts for several hours over the Easter weekend. Under the circumstances, it would have beenContinue reading “Waiting for Dave”
A cloudy forecast
Today’s guest picture is another from my friend Ada’s visit to the World War Two themed knitted exhibition at Rheged. We got up to a lovely sunny day here, and freshly out celandine and dandelions winked at me as I walked up Jimmy’s Brae to have coffee with Sandy. For one reason or another, IContinue reading “A cloudy forecast”
Black and white bridges
Today’s guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She had to take her car to the garage early this morning, and she enjoyed the misty walk home through the woods. In an all too familiar pattern, we didn’t get our boiler fitted to day. It may or may not be fitted next week. However,Continue reading “Black and white bridges”
No bread and cheese
Today’s guest picture is another from my sister Caroline. She made her way down to the sea shore in lovely weather today, and admired Portsmouth’s new sea wall. We had some token sunshine in the morning here, and it was pleasant when the sun was out, but rather chilly when the clouds came over. AfterContinue reading “No bread and cheese”
I can see clearly now (nearly)
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She found a contrast between the old and the new on a walk in London today. We woke up to some foul weather here, with heavy rain and strong winds making a noisy start to the last day of the year. I didn’t have any time toContinue reading “I can see clearly now (nearly)”
Three rivers, four hills and ten bridges
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. The citizens of Derby woke up to a snowy morning today. We had another frosty morning here, tempered with some gentle early sunshine. I filled the feeder after breakfast and had a look at the birds. The feeder was busy . . . . . . butContinue reading “Three rivers, four hills and ten bridges”
Some of my swans were geese
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He visited Ashby-de-la-Zouche and enjoyed a view of the castle. After yesterday’s very wet weather, we were relieved to wake up to a fine day today. There was quite a brisk wind, but it looked a good day for cycling. It tends to take me a bitContinue reading “Some of my swans were geese”
A steadily busy day
Today’s guest picture is a detail from a beautiful wild flower meadow photograph taken by my Somerset correspondent Venetia. It features cowslips and orchids. We had a slightly cooler day than yesterday, with a bit more wind and a bit less sunshine, but as it did not rain and was still quite warm, we didContinue reading “A steadily busy day”
Waving April goodbye
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. In the course of walking 18,000 steps today, she stopped long enough to take this lovely picture of the Isabella plantation in Richmond Park. April ended here on a warmer note than it had begun, and we were back to dry weather again. A brisk wind madeContinue reading “Waving April goodbye”
