Funny Video of the Day – Ben Folds’ Ode to Merton

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Whatever happened to Chat Roulette? : ) This great video was created by Ben Folds as a response to the YouTube ‘sensation’ Merton – a (very amusing) guy who used to go on Chat Roulette and sing to strangers. Apparently lots of people were accusing Folds of BEING Merton, so he decided to pay his…

My Year in Photos – October 22nd – “Suffering for my art”

Posted on October 23, 2010February 18, 2014 by flickr

Posted on October 22, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Posted on October 22, 2010February 18, 2014 by flickr

Funny Video of the Day – Cassetteboy vs The One Show

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfold Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfolds again last night, this time at the @royalalberthall. Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!

As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954. One of my favourite aspects of living where we do now is being surrounded by countryside and farm land - and being able to see an actively-farmed field at the end of our garden. Every time something’s being done to the field I’m out with my camera, usually trying to figure out the names of all the machinery - and it’s so nice to see a product being grown right from seed to harvest. I know it’s not easy for farmers at the moment, and I dearly hope ours are able to keep farming for many years to come - so if you have one near you, make sure to show them all the support you can!
