Hooke Farm, Wonderland

John Elkington · 2 July 2022 · Leave a Comment

Just back from a wonderful few days with Julia Hailes and her husband Jamie Macdonald at Hooke Farm, after our time with Bryanston School (30 June entry) and Kingcombe National Nature Reserve (1 July entry).

It’s never easy to capture adventures in wonderlands, but here are some images spotlighting some elements of what happened when we stepped away from Bryanston, in a Tesla X, and through the looking glass that is the front gate of Hooke Farm. For more on what goes on there, I suggest visiting Julia’s website and blog.

As we enter the gate
Chicken coops
Hare reflecting, or at least throwing a distant shadow
Another angle
The Sweet Track
Icthyosaur
Newts
Wooden stag in distance
And from behind
Bat Egg from distance
And closer up
Standing stones
Elaine and stones
Insect hotel
Julia and Elaine survey the scene
Enthroned
Me, too
Ziggy, momentarily at rest
Door between worlds
In the studio

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.
