I’d kicked myself for not taking “before” photographs. I thought it was a bit vain but now I really understand why people do it and I was so wrong. But! I’ve just found a few photos on my wife Jill’s Facebook page (Shes the only one that’s really pointed a camera at me lately, I usually hide behind one!)

So I copied them off and quickly put them through a mobile image editing app so you can see them side by side. The image on the left was taken a few years ago and until January nothing had changed. The one on the right taken at the beginning of June this year. Now I’ve seen a little difference I’m well pleased. If anyone out there has started this little journey, do a “before” photo!
