Fatherhood: I Made It! Well, according to Netflix…

Posted on May 11, 2015January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

Posted on July 14, 2013January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

Before I ask my parent panel to give us their opinions on some of the more serious or pressing issues affecting parents, I wanted to give them another chance to air their thoughts on some more children’s TV. I offered them a few shows to choose from – the Tweenies in particular inspired a VERY…

Fatherhood²: There’s No Place for Goodies and Baddies in our House

Posted on January 17, 2012January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

Here’s a sentence I never imagined I’d say five years ago: I’ve recently been giving quite a bit of thought to the fundamental differences between Thomas the Tank Engine and Chuggington… Before you start worrying for my sanity, I should clarify – I’m not a train spotter, and haven’t been putting any (okay, much) thought…

Fatherhood²: [POLL] Favourite On-Screen Dads?

Posted on April 10, 2011 by Henry Elliss

A few weeks ago, I asked you to suggest famous on-screen dads so that I could run a poll, aiming to find your all-time favourite on-screen dads. Thanks to everyone who replied (through the various channels I asked on) – I got a good dozen or so to start with, along with a few suggestions…

Fatherhood²: Pre-poll – Favourite On-Screen Dads?

Posted on March 27, 2011May 17, 2011 by Henry Elliss

I’m going to do a bit of a poll next week, to try to find who everyone’s favourite on-screen dads are – TV series, movies or even cartoons. I want to know who your favourites are – which are the dads who you wish were your own? Once I’ve got enough suggestions, I’ll do a…

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!
