Quarter pounder with fleas.

Welcome to this weeks instalment of the Beardie Weirdie Blog!

Well, I’m now a quarter of the way through my year of beard growing.  If I was running a company rather than growing a beard, I’d be doing my VAT about now!  It’s quite a daunting thought that my beard may be 4 times the length it is now by the end of the year!

It’s been a great week for donations, with my lovely Mum, Jo & Tim, and Stash.  Thank you so much for digging deep during these hard times.  Your hard earned is going to a fantastic cause, and will definitely be put to good use.

Worth a mention this week is recently founded British Beard Club.   The club has been formed to support and encourage bearded men.  Their website even has a gallery, which I now feature on!

The beard is getting long enough to start playing with.  I’m hoping to get to the stage of plaiting it.  Here’s the progress on the beard so far:

This weeks beard of the week was suggested by my friend Henry.  He’s just turned one, and his suggestion was interpreted by his Mum, Cathy.  I was helping friends put up a fence at the weekend, and apparently, from the house, I look like Bluto!  So here he is.

More to follow next week.  If you have any suggestions for “Beard of the Week”, or any suggestions for fund raiser marketing, just leave a comment or email me!
