My Year in Photos – December 10th – "A rare evening out", originally uploaded by henweb. Tonight we got to have a VERY rare evening out without Robert, thanks mainly to Sara’s mum who stayed at our house to babysit. Sara and I got to head out for a meal with some of our mum-n-dad…

My Year in Photos – December 9th – "Look what I made daddy!", originally uploaded by henweb. Today at pre-school, Robert made two Christmas decorations for our tree – a snowman and a sparkly bauble. I have nothing funny to say about that – I think they’re brilliant. I have a creative genius for a…

My Year in Photos – December 8th – "The road to the Mow", originally uploaded by henweb. Being a cold a grey day, I didn’t spend a lot of time outside today, for obvious reasons. My lunch-time walk went as far as Robert Dyas to by hooks (that’s just how I roll…) and straight back…

My Year in Photos – December 7th – "Cat under a hot plastic tree", originally uploaded by henweb. Here’s Holly, one of our two cats, nestled under our Christmas tree – a spot she seems to have taken as her own in the last week.

My Year in Photos – December 6th – “Who is David Thatcher?”

Posted on December 6, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – December 6th – "Who is David Thatcher?", originally uploaded by henweb. Despite the silly title, I did eventually figure out that “David Thatcher” is presumably a clever play on David Cameron and Maggie Thatcher…. but it DID take me a few minutes to figure it out. My first thought on…

My Year in Photos – December 5th – "Christmas has officially begun", originally uploaded by henweb.

Posted on December 5, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – December 4th – "Bring me Salvation", originally uploaded by henweb. We decided to do some Christmas shopping in a nicer location than Reading today, deciding instead to visit Oxford. Despite it being just 30 miles North of Reading, and Sara having done her PGCE there way-back-when, I’ve not actually been…

Posted on December 5, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – December 3rd – "Facebook in real life", originally uploaded by henweb. While doing a bit of shopping in Tesco at lunch time, I spotted these Facebook gift cards. I’d heard that they sold these in the US, but hadn’t realised they’d hit the UK too. I guess I can buy…

Posted on December 3, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – December 2nd – "Insert snow photo here", originally uploaded by henweb. As the snow has finally reached both Chiswick and Reading, I spent my free parts of the day snapping many-a photo around and about. This is the church on Turnham Green – one of the obligatory shots I take…

My Year in Photos – December 1st – "The weather approacheth", originally uploaded by henweb. Having sat through a couple of days of half the country moaning about the snow, and keeping my fingers very tightly crossed, the snow finally hit us on Wednesday evening – this shot was taken just as we were going…

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.
