Fatherhood: Out of the mouths of babes…

Posted on December 16, 2015January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

lost-name-year-review-02To celebrate the end of what is probably a momentous year for them, the clever (and very kind) people behind the world-famous ‘Lost My Name‘ books (reviewed on this very blog before they hit the big time!) have created quite an amazing review of 2016.

Rather than go down the traditional (and frankly, fairly boring) route of asking lots of stuffy suits what they think about the world – allowing people to spout big words that they don’t really know the meaning of – they’ve talked to children. 1,000 of them to be precise, from all over the world.

Much like the stuffy suits, they too have often used big words that they don’t know the meaning of – but let’s face it, that particular trait is a lot sweeter when it comes from a 5 year-old!

If you want to take a read of the newspaper they have compiled from the results (I can *highly* recommend it!) you can do so here: The Amazing Fantastic Year in Review.

If I’m yet to convince you of the merits of it, though, I’ve picked out some of my favourites from the paper. Take a look at some of the gems you can expect below…

Trump vs Clinton…

I shalln’t spoil the whole thing by sharing them all here, but hopefully that will have convinced you to go and take a look. You won’t regret it!

    A few photos from my slightly hair-raising morning A few photos from my slightly hair-raising morning walk. Some lovely sunrises, lots of ice on the canal and a couple of rivers and lakes that were quickly merging together, at the expense of the newly-laid track. At least my wellies stayed strong!

One good thing to come from this week’s rail strikes (and the subsequent week WFH) was my daily sunrise walks - something I really miss when I have to go into London. Fingers crossed that 2023 allows for a few more of them.
