My Year in Photos – January 21st – “Superbaby!”

Posted on January 21, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 21st, originally uploaded by henweb. Apologies for the slight blurriness of this image. There was a MUCH better one, but I mistakenly deleted it while trying to Bluetooth it off my phone. Don’t even start me on the evil bloody uneraser programs, which tell you they’re free, show you…

My Year in Photos – January 20th – “Big snow disappointment”

Posted on January 20, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 20th, originally uploaded by henweb. Well, that was a total disappointment, wasn’t it? 20cm of snow, they said – haven’t they learned not to bother predicting these sort of things by now? The only snow I got today was a light dusting of sleet while I was driving down…

My Year in Photos – January 19th – “MI5, not 9-to-5”

Posted on January 19, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 19th, originally uploaded by henweb. My afternoon today involved a visit to the IAB HQ in Holborn, for the monthly Social Media Council meeting. As I arrived 10 minutes early, I got to take a trip to one of my favourite London sites, which is just down the road…

My Year in Photos – January 18th – “New shoes?”

Posted on January 18, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 18th, originally uploaded by henweb. On the day dubbed “Blue Monday”, I decided to do my bit for keeping things different (they say change is good, don’t they?) by wearing my news shoes today, pictured. Very comfortable they were too. Yes, it really was that dull a-day. Sorry.

My Year in Photos – January 17th – “Paint me a picture”

Posted on January 17, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 17th, originally uploaded by henweb. Well, as my wife just pointed out to me, I’m afraid I’ve failed a bit on my original promise – namely that my ‘Year in Photos’ project wouldn’t just be pictures of my son. My excuse here is that my weekends are understandably filled…

My Year in Photos – January 16th – “Bad parking example #897”

Posted on January 17, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 16th, originally uploaded by henweb. As it was a fairly dull and wet day today, Robert and I took a trip to our local “soft play” centre (leaving Sara to get on with some work). The one we go to is called “Krazy Play Days” (their spelling, not mine!)…

My Year in Photos – January 15th – “I need a drink”

Posted on January 16, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 15th, originally uploaded by henweb. After an incredibly busy day (including a promising sales meeting with a client whose logo I took a picture of, but decided it wasn’t a wise thing to upload…!) I sat down in front of the TV and realised I was sitting on this…

My Year in Photos – January 14th – “There’s something in the water”

Posted on January 14, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 14th, originally uploaded by henweb. Today was a busy day at Tamar HQ – our annual planning day, which was this year held in the delightful surroundings of Kensington and Chelsea. However, a day of planning, brainstorming and fun presentations didn’t produce very many exciting photos, so I’ve opted…

My Year in Photos – January 13th – “Feed the birds”

Posted on January 13, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 13th, originally uploaded by henweb. I was tempted to use *this* photo for today’s entry – but having watched the Springwatch “Snow Watch” special earlier, I decided that this guy feeding the birds on Turnham Green was a nicer summary of the day. A day when we suddenly got…

My Year in Photos – January 12th – “We need a sample”

Posted on January 12, 2010November 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – January 12th, originally uploaded by henweb. My esteemed colleague Milly is doing a January detox, as a result of what she claims is “200+ fish and chip suppers last year”. The detox she’s chosen is this revolting looking mixture – lemon water. Or as she overly-glamorously describes it, “detox lemonade”….

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!
