Went for a walk this evening, up onto Ragleth Hill. The setting sun was glorious as the clouds gathered. (Still no rain, though.) Glad I snapped the photo though … as the regional news programme selected it for the weather slot!

Spouting Snapper Simon
A day trip to Witley Court in Worcestershire led to Snapper Simon’s latest WeatherWatcher photo … of the fountain at this English Heritage property in full spout .. or flow!
Snapper Simon’s Shropshire Summer Solitude
At the end of Ragleth Hill, the vista across South Shropshire is absolutely glorious. Not an electricity pylon in sight, or much in the way of man-made objects. It’s an amazing view, it was summary, and I had it all to myself. Well, not quite. […]
Snapper Simon Soaked
The forecast for today wasn’t great. I had to go to Shrewsbury (to drop my tax paperwork off at my accountant’s) and so I thought I’d do my daily walk somewhere round there. I suddenly remembered Haughmond Hill, a Forestry Commission site with great parking, […]
Cumbrian Snapper Simon
Even when I’m holiday, I’m still looking for great BBC WeatherWatcher photos, and last week, while on holiday in the Lake District, two of my images were used. The first was bright an early on the Sunday morning, at 7.14am (I’m not normally up that […]
Snapper Simon Snaps Shropshire Spring Sunshine
I thought that cloud over Ludlow looked menacing! It seems Shefali thought so too. It does look reminiscent of April shower clouds. Perhaps we have turned a seasonal corner. Although, there are still rumours of snow over the Easter weekend. Proof that we certainly get […]
Snapper Simon Snow Smidgen
Here in the Welsh Borders we’ve still got some snow hanging about. If you look carefully on this BBC WeatherWatcher photo, you’ll see a smidgen of white in the top right on the Long Mynd.

A selection of my Snapper Simon appearances on the BBC. 😜
Freezin’ February
Well, the Beast from the East is approaching, apparently, but that’s nothing that unusual for us here in the Welsh Borders. We get snow quite frequently here – Church Stretton isn’t nicknamed Little Switzerland for nothing, you know! Still, I missed Shefali’s use of my […]
Lunchtime Snapper
Having met up with friends in Much Wenlock this morning, I decided that on my way home I would stop off somewhere along Wenlock Edge to do my daily walk. What Wenlock Edge does well is tantalising views. New trees, mainly ash and some silver […]
Snowless Sunshine Snapper
After all the snow we’ve had, a chance to capture some sunshine and green fields!
Stokesay Snapper Simon
Decided to stop as I was passing Stokesay Castle today, to take a photo. I thought it looked gorgeous in the early morning sunshine. Turns out it was a good idea after all, as Shefali used it on the main regional evening news broadcast.
Grey Snapper
Our grey skies seemed to be just what Rich Davies was looking for when showing Midland’s Today viewers what sort of weather we’d had today!
Snapper Simon Snaps September Sunshine
After all the rain we’ve had recently, it was nice to capture a bit of blue sky and sunshine on my walk this morning. Not sure it’s going t last, though!
Seaside Snapper
Yay! Even when I’m on holiday, I can snap a BBC WeatherWatcher photo. Here’s my piccy on the BBC Look East regional news weather broadcast.
Blue Sky Snapper
After a rather grey and miserable August day, Snapper Simon found a bit of blue sky this evening, for Shefali.
Snapper Simon puts Church Stretton on the Map
After a wet and soggy day yesterday, it was glorious to be able to get up onto Ragleth Hill this morning. Some blue skies could be spotted and it was warm in the sunshine,, but the clouds certainly looked threatening.
Obliterated Snapper
It may say 30th June on the calendar, but it hasn’t felt like June for nearly a week now. And BBC Midland’s Today weather presenter Rebecca Wood commented how in Church Stretton the hills have been obliterated by low cloud!
Ludlow Snapper
I caught some breaks in the clouds above Ludlow town centre, while out stretching my legs at lunchtime today.
Snapper Drizzle
Even drizzly walks have their highlights 😝
Breakfast Snapper
When I go away to the Lake District, I usually wake up early on the first morning (excitement!). And this time was no different, something the early dawn chorus no doubt assisted with. So, despite it being 5am, I got up and ventured outside.
Snappy Snap
It was a tad blowy up the top of Ragleth Hill today, something you can judge for yourself here: But as you can see, there were blue skies, so I took a photo too. I tried uploading it to the BBC WeatherWatchers website, but couldn’t […]
Snapping Sunshine
Well, I wasn’t the only one out snapping photos in the glorious sunshine today but, and I know I might be slightly biased here, I think she saved the best until last 😝 (see video below)
Snapper Simon Snaps Snow
Snow and fog in one photo today. Well, it was probably low cloud, rather than fog. But it was flippin’ freezin’ up on the top of Ragleth Hill today. Still, the fact that Midlands Today liked the photo enough to use it, shows it was […]
Snowy Snapper Simon
Woke up to a light dusting of snow and fog this morning. Thought I’d head up Ragleth Hill, just in case I could climb above the fog. Didn’t. 😞 But I did take this photo and uploaded it to the BBC WeatherWatchers website. An hour […]
Stormy Weather
The weather yesterday was horrendous, resulting in a lot of flooding across Shropshire today. People said I was mad to go out on my daily walk, but I think Shefali was pleased I did 😉 The photo does sum up the day’s weather.
Autumnal Ape Dale
Shefali liked my photo of Ape Dale, near Church Stretton that I snapped today, while out on my walk.
October Sunshine Snapper
Lovely to see Shefali using my October sunshine image on the lunchtime regional news programme today. (and it also appeared on the BBC Shropshire news website).
Summit Missing
BBC Midland’s Today liked my photo of the Stretton Hill’s missing summits today. (Felt like November, not September!)
Sunny Snapper
Snapped again on the regional weather forecast!
