Hello Beard Fans, and welcome to this festive edition of the Beardie Weirdie blog.
We’ve reached a milestone this last week, the £500 fund raising target has been met, and exceeded. With huge thanks to Stash, Dan, Ys and John, we’ve done it! That said, it’s not too late to donate
Being Christmas Eve today, I have donned the white war paint and red hat, and visited my friends to drop off some presents:

Santa Beard
Beard of the Week is a bit of a no-brainer this week, and is the one and only Santa Claus, popularised by the Coca Cola company in 1947.

Next week will be the finale, so be sure to visit for the de-bearding blog!
Hello there, and welcome to this weeks Beardie Blog
Well, as December progresses, the bearded days are numbered.
Big thanks this week to my mother-in-law, Pat, for this weeks generous donation. She commented “Well done Sam for putting up with the beard for so long”. Sam is my long suffering wife. She’s been very supportive this year to her bearded weirdo of a husband. She is looking forward to seeing my face again (for some reason!), and I’m sure that she will be attacking me with the clippers at the strike of midnight on New Years Eve.
Here’s the first festive mugshot of little old me:

This years “Beard of the Week” was suggested by my good mate Oakers. He also has a blog, which is well worth a click. I always thought Yosemite Sam just had an awesome moustache, but it turns out, he has a full beard too! Every day’s a school day, as they say!

That’s it for me this week. Toodle pip!
Welcome to this weeks Beardie Weirdie Blog
Well, just 5 more weeks to go! 11 months has flown by, and it’s been an interesting journey, so far.
Big thanks to Chris for this weeks donation, and for his continuing support.
Well, I’m pretty sure that the beard growth has pretty much slowed to a stop. I haven’t noticed any changes in the beard for weeks now, and would be surprised if there’s much movement between now and the end of the year. I wonder if I’ve reached terminal length?

This weeks “Beard of the Week” has been suggested by a couple of people now, my friend Cathy, and my lovely wife, Sam. It’s very appropriate - Mr Twit. I often fell a bit like Mr Twit - like I need a wash after I’ve eaten.

More from me next week. Not long to go now!
