Voting With My Feet For A People’s Vote

My hips and knees are complaining after a march that took us over three hours just to clear Park Lane, but Gaia and I had a wonderful time reading the placards and talking to people. The mood was just as wonderful as last time we did this – but the size of the demonstration seemed much bigger. We were still in Park Lane when Parliament Square was already crammed.

*Asked them if I could shoot them in Hyde Park station*

*They do, too – and you can assemble them yourself*

*It’s all about not-too-cross pollination*

*I always thought William the Conqueror was a nightmare – and then found he’s in the family tree, or vine. In the end, we’re all immigrants.*

*It’s never too late to pull out – a message seen many times today*

Dear John,

Thanks for this post. I couldn’t be there…but your (and Gaia’s?) photos really capture the mood and message!

All best,

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 older material still available on this site.

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

In addition to this website, my blogs have appeared on such sites as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, Good Deals, Guardian Sustainable Business and Huffington Post.

In this new iteration of the site, the ‘Comments’ function has been reanimated. Please do make use of it.
