Fatherhood²: Hi-ho, Hi-ho, it’s Back to Work I Go…

Posted on July 24, 2011March 3, 2018 by Henry Elliss

Just a little over 3 weeks after little Frederic was born, today marks the last day of my paternity leave – a realisation which has made me rather sad this weekend. As I’ve said in past posts during these few weeks, I really appreciate the paternity leave we in the UK get – and especially…

My top blogging tips – in video form!

Posted on July 23, 2010August 25, 2010 by Henry Elliss

I recently did a small piece-to-camera (can you still call it that when I wasn’t actually looking at the camera? Hmm) for the IAB, as part of a series of videos they are doing with various Social Media council members. I chose to talk about blogging, and if you’d like to see what I said…

My Year in Photos – February 10th – "Sunlight!", originally uploaded by henweb. Despite the beautiful blue sky you can see in this photo – taken this afternoon – just over an hour after it was taken I was stood in the middle of what can only be described as a blizzard. You know the…

My Year in Photos – February 9th – "Don’t eat the fish", originally uploaded by henweb. Today’s photo is of our office manager, Anthony, after what can only be described as a mammoth clean-out of our office kitchen. You don’t want to know what he found in this box of cereal which had been sat…

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 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!
