Today guest picture is another from our friend Gavin’s holiday on the East Coast. He liked this row of beach huts at Coldingham Bay in Berwickshire. I rang up the health centre after breakfast, and their efficient triage system found a space to fit me in later in the morning. When it was time toContinue reading “Well dressed”

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”
A very social day
Today’s guest picture comes from my camera club friend Simon. He has added to my collection of trees with this one from Mallorca, where they seem to be having slightly better weather than us. Although it wasn’t raining today, it was still very grey and damp when I went out into the garden after breakfastContinue reading “A very social day”
A testing time
Today’s guest picture is another from our son Tony’s recent holiday on the island of Mull. After the heavy rain that we met as we drove back into Langholm yesterday evening, it was a relief to wake up to a bright morning today. I took an early look around outside, and was pleased to findContinue reading “A testing time”
Not generating much enthusiasm
Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. Hislop, his terrier, was investigating whether wild strawberries are edible. After an inch of rain overnight, we got up to a grey and gloomy morning. It was so grey that this was the first day since they were installed that our solar panels weren’t able to chargeContinue reading “Not generating much enthusiasm”
Feeling the power
Today’s guest picture of a lovely rose comes from my sister Caroline. As the forecast had predicted, we got up to grey and damp weather here. It had rained a bit in the night, but not enough to do more than dampen the surface of the garden, which was a bit disappointing. Although it didContinue reading “Feeling the power”
A musical trio
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found this nice Platycodon in his garden, which surprised him because he doesn’t think he planted it. I didn’t find anything in our garden this morning because I didn’t go out and look. It was damp and rather miserable, and I was quite tired after twoContinue reading “A musical trio”
When I’m 64
Today’s guest picture shows an alpaca lying down to have a snooze on a hot day. My brother Andrew took it when he was on a walk with his son Dan at the weekend. We started the morning by visiting an exhibition in a bus known as the Travelling Gallery which had arrived at theContinue reading “When I’m 64”
Saved from boredom by a board
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. On a stressful day, she was grateful for the peaceful garden at her local patisserie. We had another miserable morning here after a rainy night, and as it was followed by an awful afternoon, there were no jolly excursions to castles and parks. I found a dryContinue reading “Saved from boredom by a board”
Drained
Today’s guest picture comes from Henry’s friend Mark. Henry is very proud of his pile of logs. It was warmer today, and when the sun came out, it felt quite like spring. However, the sun didn’t come out much, and there was a shower of rain, so we kept close to home. We took theContinue reading “Drained”
