Top of the morning to ya, and welcome to this weeks instalment of the Beardie Weirdie Blog!
Firstly, I’ve reached to 60% mark in the fund-raising stakes. Many thanks to my Mum, Rose, for her unrelenting support.
I was doing some research today for something interesting to say on beards. This is the first thing I found on Google, and it’s brilliant!
Well, once you’ve recovered from that, moving on to this weeks photo my beardie progress. This week, I’ve gone for a profile shot. I don’t have a guitar growing out of my beard, oh no, that’s my daughters guitar, that I like to have a plink about with on occasion.

This weeks Beard of the Week was inspired by me watching TV on Thursday night. Not that he’s currently sporting a beard, Frankie Boyle did a stint recently as a beardie, and a very nice ginger example it is too.
Well, I’m approaching the two third mark, and I’ve just measured a beard hair that has moulted in this glorious heat we’ve been enjoying. It’s currently 9cm long (not that it’s particularly uniform in length), so if it continues to grow at the same rate, it should be approximately 13.5 cm by the end of the year.
I’ve done some Googling on “how to encourage beard growth”, and the general consensus is that shaving more regularly helps. Well I won’t be trying that in much of a hurry!
Many thank you’s to Leah from Michigan for this weeks donation!
Here’s this weeks photo - taken by me in my garden on Thursday night. Ooh, almost forgot to mention - thanks to Dan for the snappy new hair cut!

This weeks Beard of the Week was suggested by my mate Oakers, and is Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons! Here he is as playing as a one man band! Oakers also writes a blog - Eirglish, and is definitely worth a click.
How do Beard Fans! Welcome to this weeks Beardie Blog!
I hope you didn’t miss me too much last week - I was away on holiday. I had meant to get a guest writer lined up, but like a lot of things, I didn’t quite get around to it!
We had a camping trip down in Cornwall. We went as a group - us 4, along with a couple of my wife’s cousins, their partners and children, her Aunt, and a dog! We were camping newbs, and the “safety in numbers” approach paid off - we had a cracking time!
Belated thanks to Chris this week for his continuing support. Donations are very thin on the ground during August - I guess a lot of people are away on their holidays too….
This weeks photo is a self portrait, and was taken on Perranporth beach, just down the coast from Newquay.
