My Year in Photos – February 5th – “To Hammersmith, and step on it!”

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

My Year in Photos – February 5th – "To Hammersmith, and step on it!", originally uploaded by henweb. These are the offices of the potential clients we went to meet with today, in glamorous Hammersmith.

Posted on February 2, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – February 2nd – "Worst. Bargain. EVER!", originally uploaded by henweb. You regularly hear about crappy savings these days – reductions of a few pence, multi-buy discounts that you don’t really need, and stuff like that. Heck, when I worked at Sainsburys as a student we had some corkers that involved…

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!
Went to the ‘Spectacle of Light’ at @welfordpa Went to the ‘Spectacle of Light’ at @welfordpark (where they film @britishbakeoff) and had a lovely autumnal stroll amongst the lights
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!
