Today’s guest picture comes from our daughter Annie. Recently, she was on holiday at Saunton Sands in Devon on a good day for watching kite surfers. We had a good day here today, although there was the merest hint of rain at one time in the afternoon. After breakfast, Mrs Tootlepedal went off to aContinue reading “Relaxing”

Hawk eyed visitor
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He was impressed by these 10 ft high Mexican hydrangeas which he met on his walk today. We had a lovely day here with a lot of sunshine, and before it got too hot Evie took my little Olympus camera out into the garden and pointed itContinue reading “Hawk eyed visitor”
Visitors
Today’s guest picture is another from my friend Ada’s recent visit to Berlin. As we have family visitors, this week’s posts may be a bit perfunctory. The visitors get priority. We had a generally sunny and warm day here today, and I got out into the garden before and after coffee to do some tidyingContinue reading “Visitors”
All a flutter
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. On his recent tour, he visited Gibraltar Point, a nature reserve where the North Sea meets the Wash near Skegness. We woke up to a sunny morning here, which was very welcome. The day was made even sunnier by the arrival of Dennis (with scones) for coffee.Continue reading “All a flutter”
Butterflies arrive, visitors depart
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew’s current tour. He took this view of the Collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity in Lincolnshire from the top of Tattershall Castle. We had some very good weather here for the last day of Alistair, Clare, and Matilda’s visit. Both Matilda and I spent some time takingContinue reading “Butterflies arrive, visitors depart”
Taking a step back
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Caroline. She found a fruity scene when she visited her local Patisserie’s garden. After a run of grey days, we were very pleased to wake up to glorious sunshine today, and I was greeted by a very cheerful poppy when I went out into the garden. Dennis cameContinue reading “Taking a step back”
A service fault
Today’s guest picture is another to accompany Venetia’s picture of a restored building in Glastonbury yesterday. The neighbours were not so well looked after. You would need Sherlock Holmes and a very big magnifying glass to divine any great difference between today and the previous few days as far as my life and excitement went.Continue reading “A service fault”
Two visitors
Today’s guest picture is another from my sister Mary’s canal side walks. We had another warm day here today, but it was generally cloudy so it felt a good deal more comfortable than it had under the blazing sun yesterday. I had an early walk round the garden to enjoy the roses, and then weContinue reading “Two visitors”
Another two bridges
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. Alert readers will notice that he may have been standing on his head when he took it. We had another lovely day here today. In fact, it was so lovely that it was judged to be slightly too hot to have coffee in the garden when DennisContinue reading “Another two bridges”
Ruled in
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He found some mallow growing in his garden. After some pleasant days as far as the weather went, we were back to decidedly cold and windy conditions today, and any ideas about sitting in the garden and enjoying the sunshine were ruled out. I spent most ofContinue reading “Ruled in”
