My Year in Photos – November 28th – "Christmas Common FTW", originally uploaded by henweb. If you don’t live in or around Berkshire, you’ve probably never heard of the village called ‘Christmas Common’, let alone been there. It’s a beautiful little village north of Reading, and is surrounded by places with names like “Beacons Bottom”…

Posted on November 27, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – November 27th – "Star Wars? Figures…", originally uploaded by henweb. A trip to Toys’r’us this afternoon (Christmas shopping, obviously) reminded me quite how much I miss being a nerdy teenager collecting Star Wars figures. There’s bloody THOUSANDS of them now!

My Year in Photos – November 26th – “Room to breath”

Posted on November 27, 2010February 24, 2011 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – November 26th – "Room to breath", originally uploaded by henweb. I spotted this lonely fella as I was leaving our office building tonight. He appears to have rented one of the largest office-spaces in the entire centre, just for himself. I guess he must have used all his money up…

My Year in Photos – November 25th – "Leaf them on the street", originally uploaded by henweb. I don’t know if this happens everywhere, but in Chiswick they seem to use the bin men to collect up all the leaves that have fallen from the trees and put them in green big bags…. then leave…

My Year in Photos – November 24th – "Quiz time", originally uploaded by henweb. Today was the day of our annual Tamar TLC Charity Pub Quiz – a quiz which I usually host, but this year I took a step back to let some of the whipper-snappers have a go. It was a great quiz,…

My Year in Photos – November 22nd – "We not got this one daddy… or this one!", originally uploaded by henweb. This is the sight I was greeted with as I walked through the door tonight – Robert and Sara going through his ‘Cars’ box, placing all the cars he owns next to the relevant…

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!
