Out And About And Chanctonbury Ring

Then, on our way home on the Sunday, we decided to drop off at Chanctonbury Ring. Weirdly, as we climbed up through the hangings towards the top and the South Down Way, I keep having a profound sense of déjà vu. It was only when we reached to very top that it suddenly struck me that I had been here before, some eight years ago, when speaking at nearby Wilton Park.

Here are some images from this time around:

    Dear John
    Thank you for this site
    I would like to use the photo of the tree roots for a church talk I am preparing for father’s day. I’d either use a WhatsApp or YouTube video within our own website http://stjohnssouthbourne.com/
    I fell onto the roots, from the old rope swing, when I was a child and wanted to share the experience. Could you let me know please if that is ok.
    Many thanks
    M J Luff

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.
