Napton on the Hill

August 27, 2017 daveywankenobie

It’s a bit of a scorcher today – and the weather frankly couldn’t be better for a bank holiday weekend. Although I did go walking

San Francisco to New York

August 26, 2017 daveywankenobie

Bank Holiday weekends have been something of a non event for the last year, so it’s nice to wake up today knowing that I have

Generous comment

August 24, 2017 daveywankenobie

Walnut cheeks

Naturally thin

August 20, 2017 daveywankenobie

It’s a lovely day.  When I say that I don’t mean it’s lovely I mean it’s LOVELY.  That’s not just because the sun is shining

Archeology

August 17, 2017 daveywankenobie

Grasshoppers and Atomic Blondes

August 13, 2017 daveywankenobie

Slow mo me

August 11, 2017 daveywankenobie

Fundamentally this week for me has been about forward progress, challenging some thought patterns about what I need from life and focusing on self improvement.

No limits

August 10, 2017 daveywankenobie

One of the things that I’ve sometimes found difficult with my weight loss progress is how to judge success. It’s a really malleable and ethereal concept

Wyken Slough nature walk

August 8, 2017 daveywankenobie

Introducing friends

August 7, 2017 daveywankenobie

Transportation upgrade

August 1, 2017 daveywankenobie
