My Year in Photos – September 25th – "National TRUST – a first!", originally uploaded by henweb.

My Year in Photos – September 22nd – "Mooooooooooo", originally uploaded by henweb. Today’s photo is of a sight I used to see every day, but which I rarely get the pleasure of seeing these days. It’s a mural of some cows, painted on the side of the building next to where we used to…

My Year in Photos – September 21st – "Walking in SouthWARK", originally uploaded by henweb. I spent today in London, south of the Thames – or Southwark to be precise. Note to self: Don’t pronounce it “SOUTH-WARK” – people get funny about that. Anyway, the area we are doing our training in is lovely –…

Posted on September 21, 2010November 26, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – September 20th – "Strange paths to travel", originally uploaded by henweb. I’m afraid today was another of those photo-lite days, when you get to about 5.30 and realise you’ve seen absolutely nothing worthy of a photo all day. So as usual I ended up taking a photo of something I…

My Year in Photos – September 18th – "A kiss for Buzz", originally uploaded by henweb. On a trip to Reading’s new ‘home and garden superstore’, Range today, Robert found himself a Buzz Lightyear toy.

My Year in Photos – September 17th – "The sun sets on summer 2010", originally uploaded by henweb. Just under a week away to the Autumnal equinox – September 23rd, if Wikipedia is to be believed – today seemed to mark the end of summer. The forecast for the night was down to single figures,…

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!
