My Year in Photos – September 28th – "The balloon magnet tree", originally uploaded by henweb. I think today’s photo marks the third – possibly fourth – time this year when I have spotted balloons trapped in this tree or one of the ones near it. I’m beginning to wonder what makes people let go…

Posted on September 27, 2010November 26, 2010 by flickr

My Year in Photos – September 25th – "National TRUST – a first!", originally uploaded by henweb. Sara and I were AMAZED today – whilst looking round the National Trust property Berrington Hall – as the staff were very… trusting.

My Year in Photos – September 22nd – "Mooooooooooo", originally uploaded by henweb. Today’s photo is of a sight I used to see every day, but which I rarely get the pleasure of seeing these days. It’s a mural of some cows, painted on the side of the building next to where we used to…
