Quinten Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Now in it's 8th year! May the 24th is the official National Drive Your Westfield to Work Day, which contrary to the title is actually a week where we encourage you to leave the normal daily driver at home and experience driving the Westfield to your place of work, raising smiles on both your face, and those who join you in the daily drudge. Of course, some of you may no longer frequently travel to a place of work (lucky you!) so like previous years, you can also get creative and get a picture of yourself with their Westfield! A selfie, a picture taken by a member of your family... as long as it is a previously unposted recent picture, everything is submittable! You have the week from the 22nd to the 28th to participate 👍 Have a look at previous years: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017. Sadly I can find nothing for the 1st year, 2016, so you just have to take my word for it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO - Devon & Somerset Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Excellent idea. For me that will involve about 500 miles over a couple of days (Crewkerne > Dartford > Wokingham > Dartford > Crewkerne) but provided the weather is ok I’m up for it 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIY-Si Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 It's looking better than favourable! A glorious weekend to get the post-winter hibernation folk out and about just in time too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Ok, strictly not commuted to work yet, but I had to fill up for petrol before I can anyway, so agreed to collect my daughter from school and took an artsy picture whilst waiting for her 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinten Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 7AM and I should have taken my hat as well... And I believe this is what they call an office? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO - Devon & Somerset Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I may have to woose out in this one 🙁. Work is 160 miles away and it would mean about 450 miles in two days which I was more than up for. The biggest challenge is that I need to take a lawnmower back to my parents!! Not sure it will squeeze into the passenger seat 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I think this is ageist - I can't do it 'cos I'm retired 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not welcome you with open arms though.... 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 Well, that was eventful (and not in a good way!) Took the scenic route home and about 12 miles away from home I discovered that my front cycle wing was bouncing up/down/left/right... took it very gently for the remainder of the journey Have taken the stay off and will see if my local goto welder can fix it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
