Hill House

John Elkington · 9 April 2010 · Leave a Comment

X1 Addlestrop gate X2 Addlestrop church X3 Stow-on-the-Wold yews – which I first photographed around 40 years ago X4 My reflection in silver teapot in cake shop Pat reading Tim's WWII diary Pat reading Tim’s WWII diary X6 Caroline X7 Marina, Tessa, Caroline X8 Marina, Caroline X9 Marina, Pat, Caroline X10 Tessa X11 Pat, Caroline, Tessa X13 What she was inspecting in the background X14 Caroline’s Green Man X15 Gaia as aviatrix

Drove across to Hill House in wonderful sunshine, then – after wonderful lunch – out to Adlestrop, where Elaine wanted to the see the railway station that featured in a poem she likes, but we failed to find it. Meanwhile Marina came via rail, picked up from Kingham station. House full of the family young and their friends. Up to the WWII diary image above, the photos above were taken yesterday, the later ones today. Last night Caroline had us watch the film Last Chance Harvey, with Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, which turned out to be quite wonderful.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
