My Year in Photos – August 28th to September 5th

Posted on September 5, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – August 27th – "Roof boxing", originally uploaded by henweb. Well, my predicted roof box stress actually turned out to be fairly stress-free – the Thule we bought wasn’t cheap, but it was certainly nice and easy to fit! If you think it looks wonky, PLEASE don’t tell me – I…

My Year in Photos – August 26th – “Is it Christmas already?!”

Posted on August 26, 2010November 26, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – August 26th – "Is it Christmas already?!", originally uploaded by henweb. Following my realisation yesterday that it was only (!) four months until Christmas, today I spotted what may well be the oldest Christmas tree in the UK – or perhaps an early Christmas tree for somebody very miserly?

Posted on August 25, 2010November 26, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – August 25th – "Making the most of the rain", originally uploaded by henweb. Because it was a bit of a wet-play day today, Robert and I decided to make the most of it by heading in to the rain to splash in some puddles. Both of us got dressed up…

My Year in Photos – August 24th – "What a feeling – we’re camping on the ceiling", originally uploaded by henweb. A visit to Tesco for our pre-holiday supplies shopping today – and I was greeted as I walked in to the shop with this sight! As usual Tesco have stocked up ready for the…

My Year in Photos – August 22nd – "Keeping the kids entertained", originally uploaded by henweb. This is my brother-in-law Neil, doodling on the children’s activity sheet that they gave us at the pub, to keep the kids happy. It seems to be keeping him suitably amused!

My Year in Photos – August 21st – "Our first trip to the cinema", originally uploaded by henweb. Today was a day of firsts for Robert – his first trip on a train and his first visit to the cinema! And it all came about because we were a bit bored at home, when Sara…

Posted on August 21, 2010August 25, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – August 20th – "Herding birds", originally uploaded by henweb. This afternoon we once again visited that staple in child-entertainment (at least here in Reading!) – Beale Park. However, this time we visited with some friends – Ros and Keith, and their children. We hadn’t seen them for absolutely ages, so…

My Year in Photos – August 19th – “Marketing #WIN!”

Posted on August 20, 2010August 25, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – August 19th – "Marketing #WIN!", originally uploaded by henweb. After my criticism of Sainsburys yesterday (which actually seems a bit harsh – quite a few people commented that there were probably reasons for this) I spotted a great use of cheeky marketing today, in the form of Lego. This Lego…

Posted on August 18, 2010August 25, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – August 18th – "Marketing bargain #FAIL", originally uploaded by henweb. I’ve got the next 6 days off (a warm-up to our holiday in France in a week-and-a-half’s time!) so Robert and I headed out to Sainsburys this morning, to do the weekly shop. It was there that I spotted this…

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.
