My Year in Photos – May 26th – "The keys to my heart", originally uploaded by henweb. Today’s photo is kind’ve ironic, as it’s of something that I’ve spent very little looking at today, due to spending 90% of my day in meetings. Hence me spending large parts of my evening looking at it instead….!…

My Year in Photos – May 24th – "Wish I was there", originally uploaded by henweb. After a day filled wall-to-wall with meetings of one kind or another, I got home this evening to a baking-hot Reading. Today’s weather was actually so warm that a plastic container that was left in my car at lunch…

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!
